---
If you want to take a look inside a project, there are currently three important repositories:
- [VIRTUOS_Playground](https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Playground): The repository contains the Unreal Engine Project
- [VIRTUOS_Assets](https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Assets): Contains all Project related assets like 3D-Models, Graphics etc.
- [VIRTUOS_Documents](https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Documents): Contains all written Documents
- [VIRTUOS_Docs](https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Docs): The Documentation of this Project (which you're reading right now)
# Setting up the project with UE5
If you're familiar with Git, you'll likely already know how to get the files from the repository:
```bash
git pull https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Docs.git
```
If you're not comforatable with the command line, you can install a Git GUI like Github Desktop:
Hit `File -> Clone repository`

# Dependencies
The project uses the following external Plugins:
- [VR Expansion Plugin](https://github.com/mordentral/VRExpansionPlugin)
- [SPUD: Steve's Persistent Unreal Data library](https://github.com/sinbad/SPUD)
- [SUDS: Steve's Unreal Dialogue System](https://github.com/sinbad/SUDS)
- [StevesUEHelpers: Steve's UE Helper Plugin Library](https://github.com/sinbad/StevesUEHelpers)
The Plugins are already in the /Plugins folder and should build with the project without errors. For manual installation, see the respective Documentation.
