+# UnrealZeroMQ
+Unreal Engine 4 plugin for ZeroMQ with bindings from [zmqcpp](https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq).
+
+## Usage
+1. Copy this repository into the `Plugins` folder of your Unreal project.
+2. Verify that the plugin is enabled in the plugin menu inside the Unreal Editor.
+2. In your module's build file (`<your project name>.Build.cs`) add `ZeroMQ` to the module dependency list:
+```c#
+...
+PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "ZeroMQ" });
+                                                                                     // add this! ^^^^^^^^
+...
+```
+4. Test that it works!
+```cpp
+# include <zmq.hpp>
+
+...
+// place this somewhere it'll be run (e.g. BeginPlay() of your gamemode or similar)
+int major, minor, patch;
+zmq::version(&major, &minor, &patch);
+UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("ZeroMQ version: v%d.%d.%d), major, minor, patch);
+...
+
+```
+
+## Support
+* Windows (x64 and x86)
+* Linux (maybe...)
