couldn't find required command: "ninja" #56
Description
I'm getting the following error if I execute cargo run --bin quake-client under src/bin on Windows 11.
The following warnings were emitted during compilation:
warning: System installed library not found. Falling back to build from source
error: failed to run custom build command for `shaderc-sys v0.6.3`
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\me\Desktop\richter\target\debug\build\shaderc-sys-0be2fae614d70684\build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

I'm not familiar with ninja. I was getting a similar error before but for cmake, so I installed cmake. I suppose I also need to install ninja, but given that I am unfamiliar with it, I'd like first to understand why I need to do it and what the recommended way to install this tool on Windows is.
