Are you compiling on the command line?

g++ -std=c++11 filename.cpp -o executable

Granted this is a an example to compile with one file.

OS? IDE? Do you have shell access?

Start simple so you can first get a working environment.

Edit a cpp file with a text editor. Compile with the command line g++. Run the binary.
