On Windows, all library dependencies are automatically included within the `externals` folder, or can be downloaded on-demand. To build yuzu, you need to install:
* **[Visual Studio 2022 Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)** - **Make sure to select C++ support in the installer. Make sure to update to the latest version if already installed.**
![](https://i.imgur.com/0jwV1hW.png)
* **[CMake](https://cmake.org/download/)** - Used to generate Visual Studio project files. Does not matter if either 32-bit or 64-bit version is installed.

* **[Vulkan SDK](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#windows)** - **Make sure to select Latest SDK.**

* **[Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)** - Select latest stable Windows installer. Does not matter if either 32-bit or 64-bit version is installed.

* While installing Git Bash, you should tell it to include Git in your system path. (Choose the "Git from the command line and also from 3rd-party software" option.) If you missed that, don't worry, you'll just have to manually tell CMake where your git.exe is, since it's used to include version info into the built executable.
