In Visual Studio, find the Task Runner Explorer (in the View menu under Other Windows) and run the build task under the gulpfile. Alternatively, you can run `build.ps1` from the Powershell command line, which will build both the backoffice (also known as "Belle") and the Umbraco core. You can then easily start debugging from Visual Studio, or if you need to debug Belle you can run `gulp dev` in `src\Umbraco.Web.UI.Client`. See [this page](BUILD.md) for more details.
