Description

A small framework for creating windows, handling input, and setting up OpenGL, OpenGL ES, or Vulkan contexts across different operating systems. It gives graphics applications the basic window and event handling they need before drawing anything.

Install it when building games, visual tools, simulations, or other graphical software that depends on GLFW. It does not provide a standalone app for normal desktop use.
