Install

Install the library

mkdir build/ && cd build/
cmake ..
make install

You can tweak destination with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/path to change the default /usr/local.

If you use CMake :

find_package(json REQUIRED)
add_executable(app your_code.cpp)
target_link_libraries(app pre::json)

If you don't use CMake :

Add to your include path :

INSTALL_PREFIX/include/json/deps/
INSTALL_PREFIX/include/

Install without dependencies

Install the library

mkdir build/ && cd build/
cmake .. -DINGLUED=OFF
make install

This library was built with #inglued <> therefore it forwards dependencies with it, but you might prefer the use of your own deps, therefore simply disable them via INGLUED=OFF.
