# Create vcpkg manifest files

To create a new vcpkg package manager manifest (vcpkg.json) file:

1. Select File > New File > vcpkg > vcpkg.json Manifest File > Choose to open the Location dialog.
2. In File name, enter a name for the manifest file.
3. In Path, enter the path for the manifest file.
4. Select Next to open the vcpkg.json Manifest File dialog.

5. In Name, enter a name for the manifest file.
6. In Version string, enter a version number for the file.
7. In Dependencies, enter the packages to manage.

   You can add packages later in a manifest editor.

8. Select Next to open the Project Management page.

The wizard automatically adds the vcpkg.json file to the CMakeLists.txt file of the project.
