http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express

You'll need the JSON.net library from CodePlex:

http://json.codeplex.com/

Unzip the JSON.net library, open the LP project, and add a reference to the JSON.net DLL in the unzipped files.

C++

The C++ example uses the following libraries

• Google Test
• JsonCpp
• Boost C++ Libraries
• restclient-cpp

On Ubuntu, you can install them with:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev

# you will need to compile and install.
# installed files can be found in /usr/src/gtest

$ sudo apt-get install libjsoncpp-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

$ git submodule init
$ cd inc/restclient-cpp

# if you're on ubuntu 12.10 or later, use AutoMake.

# Otherwise:

$ git checkout 5a5e6b05e809a9d8aac32c937ba2e8654a1aa5a7
$ make

Go

To use the Go example:

Follow the instructions at https://golang.org/doc/code.html to setup your go workspace.

Create a package and copy go/liquidplanner_demo.go into into it.

You will need to to fetch two packages

$ go get github.com/liquidplanner/liquidplanner_go 

$ go build github.com/YOUR_NAME/YOUR_PACKAGE
$ go install github.com/YOUR_NAME/YOUR_PACKAGE
$ ./bin/YOUR_PACKAGE

VB.net

As with C#, you can use VB.net Express:

http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-basic-express

and you'll need the JSON.net library from CodePlex:

http://json.codeplex.com/
