  - Install cmake for windows (https://cmake.org/download/) - x64. Installer will ask to add the cmake exe folder to the PATH variable - use this option
  - [[c:build:build-zlib-statically-on-windows-vs2017|Build zlib statically on Windows using Visual Studio 2017]] (it is needed by Taglib). In the below example we'll consider that the zlib folder is **D:\OpenSource\zlib**
  - Download [[https://taglib.org/releases/taglib-1.11.1.tar.gz|Taglib archive]] and extract it (ex **D:\OpenSource\taglib**)
  - Open 'Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017' console
  - cd D:\OpenSource\taglib
