1. How do I make AppVeyor clone git submodules?
2. How do I make AppVeyor download and install NuGet dependencies so I can get my first automated build working?

    Hi Noah,

    You can add your own commands on "Install" step or "Before build", right after sources cloned, something like (excerpt from appveyor.yml):

    install:
    - git submodule init
    - git submodule update
    
    before_build:
    - nuget restore
    

    Hope that helps.

    That got me on the right track. Thank you! I still other issues to figure out before I can get builds working, however. If I need help, I'll open another discussion.

    Thank you again for your time, Feodor!
