What would I need to do in order to use SDL2 library on C++ programs?

Question

I've understood that SDL2 would be good for developing graphical programs in C++.

I installed SDL2 from https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php as SDL2-2.0.12-win32-x64.zip,
but I don't know what to do next,

I currently have SDL2.dll in my downloads folder.
What do I need to do with it in order to use SDL2 in C++ programs?

Or how did you install SDL2 (in case you ever did)?

I'm using Windows 10.

Hello Seb TheS ,

Here is a video. I know it's like 5 years old but you could try. By the look of things I guess you are a beginner in SDL so I would recommend a whole series.

The youtuber's name is makinggameswithben and here is his playlist.

I learned C++ from him more than from sololearn to be honest. Lol! But you could check out his whole series.

Have a good day,
Ćheyat
