 ### Prerequisites
 
-All package names are ones found in debian's (debian 10 stable) repositories, but will exist under similar names in other distros. Feel free to PR your own guide for a different distro.
+## Windows
+
+Please use the prepackaged binaries in [releases]().
+
+Dependencies for windows can be installed with `vkpkg`, in which case the current dependencies are the `x64-windows-static` versions of `lua`, `zlib`, `rapidjson`, `boost-beast`, `boost-asio` and `openssl`.

+## Linux / \*nix

+  Must support ISO C++17. If your distro's `g++` doesn't support C++17, chances are that it has a `g++-8` or `g++-10` package that does. If this is the case. you just need to run CMake with `-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-10` (replace `g++-10` with your compiler's name).
+- `liblua5.3` 
+  
+  Any 5.x version should work, but 5.3 is what we officially use. Any other version might break in the future.
+  You can also use any version of `libluajit`, but the same applies regarding the version.
