How do you install GLUT and OpenGL in Visual Studio 2012?

Question

I just installed Visual Studio 2012 today, and I was wondering how can you install GLUT and OpenGL on the platform?

Answer 1

OpenGL is bundled with Visual Studio. You just need to install GLUT package (freeglut would be fine), which can be found in NuGet.

Open your solution, click TOOLS->NuGet Package Manager->Package Manager Console to open a NuGet console, type Install-Package freeglut.

For VS 2013, use nupengl.core package instead.
