{% hint style="success" %}
No dependecies installation need, since they are all included - **GLFW** and **GLM**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CMake** build support is not included at this stage, though coming very soon. Until then you may need to fix the directories paths for libraries and includes from the **Properties** screen by right clicking the project in **Solution Explorer**.
