can't initializate rift, HELP

Hello guys! I am having errors trying to initialize the rift in a C++
program, for some reason it doesn't initialize and I don't know why

here is my code:
//include standard libraries
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//include GL
#include <GL\glew.h>

//include Oculus
#include <oculus/include/OVR_CAPI_GL.h>

//declare all ovr variables

#if !defined(OVR_OS_WIN32) && defined(_WIN32)
    #define OVR_OS_WIN32
#endif

#ifndef VALIDATE
    #define VALIDATE(x, msg) if (!(x)) { MessageBoxA(NULL, (msg), "UTRGV Simulation", MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK); exit(-1); }
#endif

#ifndef OVR_DEBUG_LOG
    #define OVR_DEBUG_LOG(x)
#endif

void ovrInit();

ovrInitParams initParams = { ovrInit_RequestVersion, OVR_MINOR_VERSION, NULL, 0, 0 };
ovrSession session;
ovrGraphicsLuid luid;


int main() {
   
    //oculus initialization
    //see ovrInit()
    ovrInit();


   
}

//this method get output from the oculus
void ovrInit() {

    //step 1 initialize te oculus
    ovr_Initialize(&initParams);//
    if (!ovr_Initialize(&initParams)) {

        cout << "Error Initializing the oculus!" << endl;
    }
    else {
        cout << "Oculus is running!\n" << endl;
        cout << OVR_MINOR_VERSION << endl;
        cout << OVR_MAJOR_VERSION << endl;
    }


    ovrHmdDesc hmdDesc = ovr_GetHmdDesc(session);

}
