Installation

📦 Installation

Zuno is designed to be easy to install and integrate into any modern C++ project. You can install it using CMake Fetch Content, or build it manually from source if you prefer full control.

✅ Recommended: Install via CMake Fetch Content

The easiest way to get started is by using CMake Fetch Content, a feature that allows you to include external projects directly in your CMake configuration.

1. Configure Your Project

Add the following lines to your CMakeLists.txt file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(my_zuno_app)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
zuno
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ZunoFramework/zuno.git
GIT_TAG        main
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(zuno)

add_executable(zuno-app main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(zuno-app PRIVATE zuno)

2. Build Your Project

Run the following commands to build your project:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

🛠️ Alternative: Build from Source

If you prefer to build Zuno manually (e.g. for debugging or contributing), follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ZunoFramework/zuno.git
cd zuno

2. Build the library

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

3. Link it in your project

Make sure to include the include/ directory and link against the compiled static or shared library.

🧪 Verify Installation

To confirm that Zuno is installed correctly, try compiling this minimal example:

#include &lt;zuno/zuno.hpp&gt;

int main() {
zuno::App app;
app.get("/", [](auto& req, auto& res) {
  res.send("Zuno is working!");
});
app.listen(3000);
}

Compile and run:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build
./build/zuno-app

You should see:

Zuno server running on http://localhost:3000
