  • Your GPU must support Vulkan. Download the drivers here: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver.
  • Download the LunarG Vulkan SDK: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home. Lava works with version 1.0.57.0.
  • You must have at least glfw version 3.3.0: https://github.com/glfw/glfw (branch master).
  • For GLM: sudo apt-get install libglm-dev
  • For ASSIMP: sudo apt-get install libassimp-dev
