To compile EnergyPlus see the GitHub page for the development project:

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus

At the bottom is a link to how to build EnergyPlus:

I would suggest that you make sure you can build EnergyPlus without any modifications before adding the module that you have developed.

You should probably also look at the rest of the wiki related to the project since it contains development information:

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/wiki

You are a very adventurous new user! Good luck.

I'm also using EnergyPlus 8.6.0 source code available on GitHub to generate an executable EP file just like everyone else. After following the steps in wiki page(https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/wi...). when I clicked the generate button.It reminded me that the source directory should contain the CmakeLists.txt files.Where can I get this file? What needs to be included in the source folder? Can you explain it in detail? Please help me! Thank you!
