raylib uses on its [core](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/core.c) module the outstanding [GLFW3](http://www.glfw.org/) library, embedded in the form of [rglfw](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/rglfw.c) module, to avoid external dependencies.
raylib uses on its [raudio](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/raudio.c) module, the amazing [miniaudio](https://github.com/dr-soft/miniaudio) library to support multiple platforms and multiple audio backends.
raylib uses internally multiple single-file header-only libraries to support different fileformats loading and saving, all those libraries are embedded with raylib and available in [src/external](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/src/external) directory. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/raylib-dependencies) for a detailed list.

*On Raspberry Pi platform (native mode), `Videocore API` and `EGL` libraries are used for window/context management. Inputs are processed using `evdev` Linux libraries*
*On Web platform, raylib uses `emscripten` provided libraries for several input events management, specially noticeable the touch events support.*
build and installation
----------------------
Binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the [Github Releases page](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases). raylib is also available via multiple package managers on multiple OS distributions. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) for more info.
If you wish to build raylib yourself, [the raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) also contains detailed instructions on how to approach that.
raylib has been developed using two tools:
raylib binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the [Github Releases page](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases). raylib is also available via multiple [package managers](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/issues/613) on multiple OS distributions.
If you wish to build raylib yourself, [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki#development-platforms) contains detailed instructions on building and using raylib on multiple platforms.
Those are the tools recommended to enjoy raylib development.
raylib can be used with multiple IDEs, [projects directory](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/projects) includes several ready-to-use project templates to build raylib and code examples.
