For all three external libraries you should be able to simply copy the extracted folder that you get from the download links provided at the top of the guide. The `root_lib_dir` in the above example can be wherever you choose on your system - as long as the environment variable HIFI_LIB_DIR is set to it.
*NOTE: Be careful with glm. For the folder other libraries would normally call 'include', the folder containing the headers, glm opts to use 'glm'. You will have a glm folder nested inside the top-level glm folder.*
For many of the external libraries where precompiled binaries are readily available you should be able to simply copy the extracted folder that you get from the download links provided at the top of the guide. Otherwise you may need to build from source and install the built product to this directory. The `root_lib_dir` in the above example can be wherever you choose on your system - as long as the environment variable HIFI_LIB_DIR is set to it.
Should you want to define a location for each library, these are the associated variables you will want to set:
`GLM_ROOT_DIR, GLUT_ROOT_DIR, GLEW_ROOT_DIR`
