Before starting this task, it's important to have a general understanding of ADT's data structure, shown here.

Create a version of ADT

Follow these steps:

1. Run this command to create a version of ADT.

   .\blackboxcli.exe version add --name <new version name>  
   --namespace <your-namespace>  
   --apikey <your-apikey> 
   --game-project <your-project-path>

   Example:

   .\blackboxcli.exe version add --name 0.0.1
   --namespace avengers
   --apikey 0e1dc3ef83d04eaeb1672bfd44889c04_UXm5R52wAfjcEnQOzVw99oAl1uQ1hRZ
   --game-project "C:\Users\setya_accelbyte\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject"

2. Check your new version from the CLI, or run this command.

   .\blackboxcli.exe version list 
   --namespace <your-namespace> 
   --apikey <your-api-key>

   The output should look like this, with the CLI pointing to the new version of ADT you created.

   Getting list of available Game Versions...
   ID                                              | Name
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   efdb49e8-7bd1-4ede-8892-52db45f11a45           | 0.0.1
   -----------------------------------------------------------

3. Run this command to register the Windows build under the ADT version you created.

   .\blackboxcli.exe build register --platform-arch x64 --platform-name windows 
   --namespace <your-namespace> 
   --apikey <your-api-key> 
   --game-project <your-project-path>  
   --game-engine <your-installed-engine-path>

   Example:

   .\blackboxcli.exe build register --platform-arch x64 --platform-name windows 
   --namespace avengers 
   --apikey 0e1dc3ef83d04eaeb1672bfd44889c04_UXm5R52wAfjcEnQOzVw99oAl1uQ1hRZ
   --game-project "C:\Users\setya_accelbyte\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject"  
   --game-engine "D:\Epic Games\UE_5.0"

   The ADT CLI is pointing to the new version and build.
