+# Building in VS Code
+
+This section covers building the binaries required for [ Flashing ](FLASH.md) and
+[ Debugging ](DEBUG.md) the target Matter Accessory Devices.
+
+<a name="linMac"></a>
+
+## Linux/Mac
+
+### Step 1:
+
+Use the shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + P) to trigger the command pallet.
+
+### Step 2:
+
+Search for "run build task" and select the "Run Build Task" option.
+
+### Step 3:
+
+A new drop down menu will appear, select "Build efr32 example".
+
+### Step 4:
+
+On the next menu select an EFR32 example to build.
+
+### Step 5:
+
+Select the appropriate target board.
+
+![](../../images/build_efr32_example.gif)
+
+## Windows
+
+Building for Windows requires one extra step prior to running the build example
+task.
+
+### Step 1:
+
+Press (Ctrl + Shift + P) to trigger the command pallet.
+
+### Step 2:
+
+Search for "run build task" and select "Run build task" from the drop
+down menu.
+
+### Step 3:
+
+On the next menu, select "Windows setup" from the options.
+
+### Step 4:
+
+The next menu contains two options, "setup" and
+"cleanup". Select _setup_ in order to initiate the setup process or _cleanup_ to
+clean up the environment after building the examples. This step installs crucial
+packages that are required to build the examples such as openssl. if openssl
+is not detected, an installation will be initiated in a new window. Follow the installation prompts in order for the setup to be successful.
+
+### Step 5:
+
+This step is identical to the steps for building on Linux/Mac, Refer to
+that [ section ](#linMac).
