Some users want to use raylib with Visual Studio IDE. raylib 1.6 includes [Visual Studio 2015 project templates](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/develop/project/vs2015) for the library and some examples but maybe you want to configure the library for another Visual Studio version.
**raylib 2.0** includes [Visual Studio 2017 project templates](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/projects/VS2017) for the library and some examples but maybe you want to configure the library for another **Visual Studio** version.
Those are the configuration parameters required:
### Configure raylib library project
1. Create a new library project (C)
2. Include the following directories:
- `$(raylibSrcDir)\external\openal_soft\include`
- `$(raylibSrcDir)\external\glfw3\include`
- `$(raylibSrcDir)\external`
3. Preprocesor definitions (for Windows platform):
- `GRAPHICS_API_OPENGL_33`
- `PLATFORM_DESKTOP`
4. Advanced Configuration: `Compile as C Code (/TC)`
Assuming you are using **Visual Studio 2017** and you downloaded raylib from **github** you can easily follow this step by step guide.
