Installation

Although cpptools is a header-only library, we provide standardized means to install it, with package managers or with cmake.

Besides the cpptools headers, all these methods place the cmake project configuration file in the right location so that third-party projects can use cmake’s find_package to locate xtensor headers.

From source with cmake

You can also install cpptools from source with cmake. On Unix platforms, from the source directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
make install

On Windows platforms, from the source directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
nmake
nmake install

See the section of the documentation on build-options, for more details on how to cmake options.
