+# Windows build
+
+Until qrenderdoc is ready, you need to download some dependencies to build:
+
+* Qt
+* Python
+* PySide2
+* SWIG (custom fork)
+
+Download [this zip](https://renderdoc.org/qrenderdoc_3rdparty.zip) and unzip to this folder (the 3rdparty/ in the zip should go into the 3rdparty/ folder here) before building.
