Installing Libraries

To install OpenGL in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

You would also need development version of GLEW. Install it from

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev

Check the OpenGl version using the following :-

 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"

To install GLFW3

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libglfw3
sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

For Setup using CMAKE

https://cis.gvsu.edu/~dulimarh/Okto/cis367/#forlinux

For Checking whether the libraries exist, Run the code from the following link -

1. https://antongerdelan.net/opengl/hellotriangle.html
2. https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.0/quick.html

Run the code as

g++ -o main main.cpp -lglfw -lGL -lGLEW

Notes

GLFW - a small C library that lets you create and manage windows, OpenGL and OpenGL ES contexts and Vulkan surfaces, enumerate monitors and video modes as well as handle inputs such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, clipboard and time.
Both printf and std::cout can be used in c++. Almost anything from c can be used in c++.\
