Unable to include GLFW/glfw.h on Visual Studio 2019 - c++

Question

I am setting up Visual Studio for C++ OpenGL. I tried following a tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR4fNpBjmq8) but it still keep on getting this error: "cannot open source file "GLFW/glfw3.h"
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
int main()
{
GLFWwindow* window;
/* Initialize the library */
if (!glfwInit())
return -1;
/* Create a windowed mode window and its OpenGL context */
window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);
if (!window)
{
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
/* Make the window's context current */
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
/* Loop until the user closes the window */
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
/* Render here */
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
/* Swap front and back buffers */
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
/* Poll for and process events */
glfwPollEvents();
}
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
It is exact same as the demo on the official GLFW website but it does not work. Any way to fix this?

Thanks for your sharing the tutorial with me and l have followed this guidance and this works in my side and builds without any errors. So please follow my steps to troubleshoot your issue:
1) add the path of glfw3.h into Additional Include Directories(Right-click on your project-->Configuration Properties-->C/C++-->General-->Additional Include Directories).
2) add glfw3.lib into Additional Dependencies(Right-click on the project-->Configuration Properties-->Linker-->Input-->Additional Dependencies) and do not forget to add opengl32.lib into it
3) close,reopen VS and then you will rebuild your project without any errors.
In addition, if you want to enter into glfw3.h file to see its function when you debug it, you should add the path into Library Directories(Right-click on the project-->Configuration Properties-->VC++ Directories-->Library Directories).
Hope it could help you.
