Dependencies

This package relies on a C / C++ compiler (gcc).

Linux

The GNU Compiler Collection may come with your distribution. Run which gcc g++ to find out.

If that command does not output

/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/g++

you will need to install it.

For RHEL-based distros, run sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++.

For Debian-based distros, run sudo apt install gcc g++.

For Arch-based distros, run sudo pacman -S gcc.

Windows

You'll need to install MinGW and add it to your PATH.

Mac

You'll need to install XCode.
