WPLib
In order to make electronics like the roboRIO, sensors, and motor controllers do stuff, you will need to write software. You could write this software from scratch but that would be a ton of work. The WPLib is a software development kit (SDK) that provides code to control electronics.
Ever wonder what the WP in WPLib stands for? Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is a University in Massachusetts. WPILib was written by some folks at WPI in 2005 as a way to level the playing field and give a strong foundation for all teams to work from.
See the documentation here to install WPLib
By default, on Windows, WPLib is installed into C:\Users\Public\wpilib\YYYY (where YYYY is 2024, 2025, etc)
