make install

• CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<string> : installation prefix
• CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<string> : column-separated list of prefixes where to look for dependencies

Note for packagers

Our CMake scripts may automatically add some paths into research paths of generated binaries. To ensure that the installed binaries are striped of any rpath, use -DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON while you invoke cmake.
