To compile the code examples in this book, you will need DMD 2.068 or a later version. To compile the sample projects, you will also need DUB 0.9.24 or a later version. Installation instructions for both are provided in the first chapter.

In order to download dependencies, the color example in Chapter 8, Exploring the Wide World of D, and the sample project in Chapter 10, Taking D Online, requires an Internet connection the first time they are compiled.
