Installing the project#
Tl;dr
$ cmake --install ./build-dir --prefix /path/to/install/prefix
Finally, for the installation step, simply run the step mentioned above. There is not much to mention regarding this step. In this case we do not have a preset interface to run the install step.
The prefix specified expands where you will find your installed project:
Type |
Path |
---|---|
Executables |

Warning
In some project you would not be able to overwrite the installation path with
--prefix
. In such cases, make sure you have passed the appropriate
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
at the configure step.
