Installation¶

Caterva can be built, tested and installed using CMake. The following procedure describes a typical CMake build. In order to install Caterva, you need to have the library c-blosc2 builded or installed.

Unix¶

Create the build directory inside the sources and move into it:
```
cd caterva-sources
mkdir build/
cd build/
```
Now run CMake configuration and, if necessary, specify the directory where the Blosc build is and the directory where the Blosc headers are:
```
cmake -DBLOSC_DIR='blosc_build_dir' -DBLOSC_INCLUDE='blosc_headers_dir' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='Debug/Release' ..
```
Build and test Caterva:
```
cmake --build .
ctest
```
If desired, install Caterva:
```
cmake --build . --target install
```

Windows¶

Create the build directory inside the sources and move into it:
```
cd caterva-sources
mkdir build/
cd build/
```
Now run CMake configuration and, if necessary, specify the directory where the Blosc build is and the directory where the Blosc headers are:
```
cmake -DBLOSC_DIR='blosc_build_dir' -DBLOSC_INCLUDE='blosc_headers_dir' ..
```

Build and test Caterva:

cmake --build . --config 'Debug/Release'
ctest --build-config 'Debug/Release'

If desired, install Caterva:

cmake --build . --target install --config 'Debug/Release'

That’s all folks!
