+### vcpkg
+
+`mob` now uses **vcpkg** to manage its third-party dependencies (like libcurl).
+
+1. **Install vcpkg**: If you don't have it, follow the [official instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/get_started/get-started).
+2. **Set Environment Variable**: `mob` requires the `VCPKG_ROOT` environment variable to locate the toolchain.
+
+   ```powershell
+    $env:VCPKG_ROOT = "C:\path\to\vcpkg"
+    $env:PATH = "$env:VCPKG_ROOT;$env:PATH"
+   ```
+
+3. **Static Triplet**: `mob` builds with the `x64-windows-static-md` triplet by default to ensure a standalone executable. The `bootstrap.ps1` script handles this automatically if `VCPKG_ROOT` is set.
