The official SFML Tutorials feature detailed setup descriptions for some compilers.

By far the simplest setup, with cross-platform guarantees, is to use the SFML CMake Template. Follow the instructions in the README.

Don't forget, SFML is just like any other C++ library:

• Tell the compiler where to find the SFML headers
• Tell the linker which libraries to link
• Make sure to use the same runtime library as was used for SFML

The official tutorials and documentation provide a lot of information to understand the ins and outs of SFML.
