To build your raylib game for Windows you need to download raylib git repository. raylib already comes with ready-to-use makefiles and CMake system to compile source code, examples and templates. You can alternatively download *raylib Windows Installer*.
To build your raylib game for Windows you **need to compile the raylib library first**. You can either compile the [current repository](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib) or download a [release](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases).
It is always recommended that you download a [release](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases) as the repository is under constant development.

**raylib Windows Installer** comes with all the required tools to develop with raylib, those tools are:
* C Compiler (TCC or MinGW) - To compile the code, it includes all required system libraries.
* Notepad++ (preconfigured) - To edit code, it includes ready-to-use scripts to compile code and examples.
* raylib library - Including, source, release, examples and templates.
If you want, you can use a different code editor (e.g. Visual Studio) or another compiler, but the following instructions are focused on raylib standard development tools: Notepad++ and TCC/MinGW.
