For OS based on Debian you may do that with APT:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev git make libtbb-dev

If you use Windows OS you may do that with msys2:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-curl git make mingw-w64-x86_64-tbb

Cloning project and changing current directory:

git clone https://github.com/KlimentLagrangiewicz/scld
cd scld

Building from source (Linux):

make

Building from source (Windows):

make windows

If building was ok, you can find executable file in bin subdirectory.
