# Daily WebRTC Transport

> WebRTC implementation for C++ using Daily

The Daily transport implementation enables real-time audio and video communication in your Pipecat C++ applications using [Daily's](https://www.daily.co/) WebRTC infrastructure.

## Dependencies

### Daily Core C++ SDK

Download the [Daily Core C++ SDK](https://github.com/daily-co/daily-core-sdk) from the [available releases](https://github.com/daily-co/daily-core-sdk/releases) for your platform and set:

```bash theme={null}
export DAILY_CORE_PATH=/path/to/daily-core-sdk
```

### Pipecat C++ SDK

Build the base [Pipecat C++ SDK](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat-client-cxx-daily) first and set:

```bash theme={null}
export PIPECAT_SDK_PATH=/path/to/pipecat-client-cxx
```

## Building

First, set a few environment variables:

```bash theme={null}
PIPECAT_SDK_PATH=/path/to/pipecat-client-cxx
DAILY_CORE_PATH=/path/to/daily-core-sdk
```

Then, build the project:

    ```bash theme={null}
    cmake . -G Ninja -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
    ninja -C build
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    ```bash theme={null}
    # Initialize Visual Studio environment
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

    # Configure and build
    cmake . -Bbuild --preset vcpkg
    cmake --build build --config Release
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
