+Note: If you are running on Windows, you need to manually add your ns-3 library directory
+to the ``PATH`` environment variable. This can be accomplished in two ways.
+
+The first, is to set VSCode's ``settings.json`` file to include the following:
+
+.. sourcecode:: json
+
+  "cmake.environment": {
+        "PATH": "${env:PATH};${workspaceFolder}/build/lib"
+    }
+
+The second, a more permanent solution, with the following command:
+
+.. sourcecode:: terminal
+
+  > echo %PATH%
+  C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
+  C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\dotnet\;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\;C:\Program Files\VSCodium\bin;

+
+  > setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\path\to\ns-3-dev\build\lib"
+
+  SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
