Simulator Setup

From here: https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/software/wpilib-tools/robot-simulation/introduction.html

C++ robot simulation requires that a native compiler to be installed. For Windows, this would be Visual Studio 2022 version 17.9 or later (not VS Code), macOS requires Xcode 14 or later, and Linux (Ubuntu) requires the build-essential package.

Ensure the Desktop Development with C++ option is checked in the Visual Studio installer for simulation support.
