[@brucefletcher9327]

Thank you for such a clear & complete set of instructions. I now have raylib installed on my copy of Visual Studio 2022

[@depolkee]

Thank you so much! To people who have problems with downloading on Win10: Open the command prompt. Using "cd .." command go to C: directory, then type "cd vcpkg" . And after that use the commands which author have mentioned (but without "./" at the begining) bootstrap-vcpkg.bat vcpkg integrate install vcpkg install raylib:x64-windows Hopefully it helps someone who have problems with downloading.

[@eraserhead1281]

[@pfirsichzocker9314]

[@depolkee]

@@pfirsichzocker9314 sorry I don't know, I found this way kinda spontaneously on my laptop, so I'm not sure if I can help you with your problem

[@scottsher]

Nick...you are the man!!!!! I have literally been trying to configure Raylib for vs code for a week. I switched to Visual Studio and came across your video and vcpkg. So easy!!!! Now I have a template for all of my graphics projects and I can stop configuring and start programming again. Many Many Thanks! Scott

Great tutorial, first time that a tutorial work for me without any problems thank you so much!

[@luigiistratescu2756]

NICK YOU ARE AMAZING. Very simple steps. No linker, no includes, bins, libs, etc. all that stuff. Just simple commands and done. Now it's time to learn how to use Raylib. Thanks!

[@ayushbhardwas]

Hey Nick, thanks a lot for this amazing video. I've been following your cpp tutorial and I it's really fun, I genuinely appreciate you making these videos ❤ I wanted to ask you if I download Raylib using this method and then I zip and share the project folder with someone else who has Visual Studio with the cpp setup but not Raylib, will they still be able to run the project on their system? I mean will the library files be included in the project aswell? If not, can you help me with how I can achieve that

[@maciejzyskowski1807]

What a legend! Thank you so much!

[@josefortyfive214]

Great tutorial!

[@dylansherrick1035]

Tried this and nothing happens after installation. I check Visual Studio and raylib.h isn't there.

[@jaitjacob]

such a great tutorial, thanks

[@Tims_Projects]

This is cool Nick. I use MS Visual Studio for 90% of my coding. When installing raylib do you know where it put it's files? Do you know if they end up with the installation of MS Visual Studio files? I try not to put things on my C drive, I leave C for windows system. It's a solid state drive (not very big) and I don't want to fill it.

[@programmingwithnick]

Hello Tim! When you install a library using vcpkg it places it inside the vcpkg folder. So, you are free to install vcpkg in any drive you want, the libraries will install there.

[@alexei4596]

thanks man!

[@anhangolem5881]

help, when i download raylib, it said A suitable version of cmake was not found (required v3.29.2).

[@jonathanhill5182]

./bootstrap doesn't seem to work on Windows 11, unfortunately.

[@dhyey2316]

.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat use this it will work. instead of / use \

[@losthonor1983]

Hey Nick! Can you please help me with something? I used this method to install raylib and it installed the main raylib.h file and raymath.h. However it didn't install the rest of the files like raudio, rpng etc. Can you please help me with this.

[@chupacabra1899]

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. help ?

[@cistle00]

right click the batch file and run it. For the other commands in the windows, whenever you have "./vcpkg" just type it without the ./ and it works

[@dhyey2316]

.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat use this it will work. instead of / use \

I am waiting for you to do a tutorial for similar installation on linux.

Thanks a lot!

[@egeakdogan3281]

Hi, Nick I followed your steps exactly, however Visual Studio was unable to locate the raylib.h file when I attempted to import raylib.h into my project. Could you please assist?

[@programmingwithnick]

how do you include raylib. #include "raylib.h" or #include ?

[@egeakdogan3281]

@@programmingwithnickI am gonna use that for c programming language and I just tried both of them. Also I have a Mac and I just install windows by virtual machine to use raylib and I am trying to run that on virtual machine. By the way I wasn’t expecting to answer to me thank you 🙏

[@coronaa.3150]

@@programmingwithnick I am having the same issue, ive tried with both "raylib.h" and and it throws an "cannot open source file "raylib.h"" error. I installed it exactly as in the video, any help would be much appreciated.

[@teamweebs]
