<p>Often, it is not enough to only build an executable, it should also be
installable. With CMake, we can specify install rules using the

Supporting local installations for your builds in
CMake is often as simple as specifying an install location and the targets and
files to be installed.</p>

<p>The starting code is provided in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Step5</span></code> directory. In this

<p>First, update <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt</span></code> to install the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MathFunctions</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tutorial_compiler_flags</span></code> libraries to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lib</span></code>

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MathFunctions.h</span></code> to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">include</span></code> directory.</p>
<p>Then, update the top level <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMakeLists.txt</span></code> to install
the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tutorial</span></code> executable to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bin</span></code> directory. Lastly, any header files
should be installed to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">include</span></code> directory. Remember that
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TutorialConfig.h</span></code> is in the <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:PROJECT_BINARY_DIR"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../variable/PROJECT_BINARY_DIR.html#variable:PROJECT_BINARY_DIR" title="PROJECT_BINARY_DIR"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PROJECT_BINARY_DIR</span></code></a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="build-and-run">
<h3>Build and Run<a class="headerlink" href="#build-and-run" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>Make a new directory called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Step5_build</span></code>. Run the
<span class="target" id="index-0-manual:cmake(1)"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#manual:cmake(1)" title="cmake(1)"><code class="xref cmake cmake-manual docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake</span></code></a> executable or the

with your chosen build tool.</p>
<p>Then, run the install step by using the <a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#cmdoption-cmake-install"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--install</span></code></a>
option of the <span class="target" id="index-1-manual:cmake(1)"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#manual:cmake(1)" title="cmake(1)"><code class="xref cmake cmake-manual docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake</span></code></a> command (introduced in 3.15, older
versions of CMake must use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">install</span></code>) from the command line. This step
will install the appropriate header files, libraries, and executables.
For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">cmake --install .</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For multi-configuration tools, don't forget to use the
<a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#cmdoption-cmake-build-config"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--config</span></code></a> argument to specify the configuration.</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">cmake --install . --config Release</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If using an IDE, simply build the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">INSTALL</span></code> target. You can build the same
install target from the command line like the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">cmake --build . --target install --config Debug</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The CMake variable <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.html#variable:CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" title="CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX</span></code></a> is used to determine the
root of where the files will be installed. If using the <a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#cmdoption-cmake-install"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake</span> <span class="pre">--install</span></code></a>
command, the installation prefix can be overridden via the
<a class="reference internal" href="../../manual/cmake.1.html#cmdoption-cmake--install-0"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--prefix</span></code></a> argument. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">cmake --install . --prefix "/home/myuser/installdir"</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Navigate to the install directory and verify that the installed <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tutorial</span></code>
runs.</p>
