Installing

  • The compiling process is mainly for the plotting functionality if you don't want that then you can just include the header files and you are good to go
  • If you want to install the header files into a standard directory then follow the compiling process below (without SFML) and add this cmake flag
  • The scripts are also made to compile the library with the plot functionality
  • Tested Platfroms
    • Linux Ubuntu 18.04
    • macOS 10.13 with xcode 9.4.1
    • Windows 10 version 1809
  • Dependinceis
    • cmake version 3.13 or higher
    • SFML version 2.5 or higher (for plots)
    • GNU c++ compiler version 6.1 ot higher (C++ 14 features)
    • GNU make version 4.1 or higher
