Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to get started with the winIDEA Debug Plugin for CLion from JetBrains.

You will follow the initial setup Walkthrough to get started with the plugin and learn how to select and open a winIDEA Example Workspace to set up your environment quickly. Example Workspaces are used for simulator or evaluation purposes. You can take them as a reference for your own configurations to get started with a new project as quickly as possible.

 

For more information about the plugin, refer to CLion Plugin.
