# What do I need?

To configure the Azure-hosted build, we need:

- The NuGet Packages from LCS. Currently, there are 5 of them.
- [nuget.exe](https://www.nuget.org/downloads)
- A user with enough access rights at the organization level to upload the NuGet packages to Azure DevOps.
- Some patience to set everything up.

The first step will be going to LCS, to the Shared Asset Library, and downloading the 6 NuGet packages:

NuGet Packages

Honestly, **the NuGet packages list on LCS is a MESS**. We need to get this fixed.

You need:

- Application 1 Build Reference
- Application 2 Build Reference
- Application Suite Build Reference
- Compiler Tools
- Platform Build Reference

Beware, because there's a package called "Application Build Reference" that **cannot be used in the Azure DevOps Artifacts** because it's over 500MB. This is why it was split into Application 1 and Application 2.
