CMake with Automatic Download

Check if you have Cmake 3.14+ installed:

cmake -version

Install CPM.cmake and then:

CPMAddPackage(
    NAME scistats
    GITHUB_REPOSITORY alandefreitas/scistats
    GIT_TAG origin/master # or whatever tag you want
)
# ...
target_link_libraries(my_target PUBLIC scistats)

You can now add the scistats headers to your source files.

However, it’s always recommended to look for Scistats with find_package before including it as a subdirectory. You can use:

option(CPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES "Try `find_package` before downloading dependencies" ON)

to let CPM.cmake do that for you. Otherwise, we can get ODR errors in larger projects.
