How to correctly setup a project to build and debug

[isaacseeto]

Hi, I am new to STM32 and I have been trying to follow the getting started page and this tutorial. I am having trouble building the project as the option is greyed in Project>Build Project.

 

I saw in another post (https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/the-build-button-is-greyed/td-p/74154), that this could be a result of incorrect project importing but I don't understand how to correct this as I have followed the guide (https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/STM32StepByStep:Step1_Tools_installation).

For reference, I was trying to follow this tutorial as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVC7KaUNCS8).

Thank you.

Indeed the first time with CubeIDE may be hard.

From your description, it can be indeed a failed import, or the project files can be corrupted or missing.

For best results, since you are on a Windows PC, try to ask remote assistance from somebody you know,  using the Windows Quick Assist tool.

You can load examples directly using the Example Selector when starting a new project. Might work better.
