'What are the next steps after installing mapnik with vcpkg to see mapnik usage

I installed vcpkg and followed the instructions mentioned in https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/blob/master/INSTALL.md to install mapnik using vcpkg.

Basically, I did vcpkg install mapnik. It installed a lot of packages and supporting libraries like boost, libmapnik. Now it has created a libmapnik.dll inside C:\src\vcpkg\packages\mapnik_x86-windows\bin and also a lib file libmapnik.lib under C:\src\vcpkg\packages\mapnik_x86-windows\lib

What are the next steps after that? How do I use this? Do I need to write C++ code to use it? If yes, do we have any sample code to run and actually see mapnik in use?

I would like to import a shape file I have, to mapnik and see how it renders the map.

I am fairly new to C++. Please guide thanks.
