"ImportError: Failed to load GLFW3 shared library."

Installing GLFW via pip does not give you the actually GLFW3 lib, just the Python bindings. I am assuming you already had it installed and in your PATH so this issue did not surface for you while making the tutorial.

For those running into this issue you need to:
2). Create a directory and place the lib-mingw and include directories in it from the zip you downloaded
3). Do: CTRL+R, enter "systempropertiesadvanced", click "Environment Variables".
4). Under "System Variables" click new, name it: "PYGLFW_LIBRARY", then browse to the glfw3.dll file.
5). Click ok.

You may need to restart PyCharm for it to refresh the Environment Variables, then everything should work correctly.

Great tutorial series, I'm just getting into OpenGL (Before this I made a cube that can rotate on keypress with Pyglet haha) and was glad to find an up to date series like this.

Do you know why I get the error “no module named ‘glfw’ “ ? The installation went fine...
