Usage

Create the build directory and configure the build system:

cmake -B build # Or `cmake -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF -B build` to skip tests. 

Build the project:

cmake --build build

Inspect the build directory to find the application and the tests.

Optionally, run the tests with ctest by typing:

cmake -E chdir build ctest
