 Notes about building lws
 ========================
 
+You can download and install lws using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
+cd vcpkg
+./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
+./vcpkg integrate install
+vcpkg install libwebsockets
+```
+The lws port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) on the vcpkg repository.
