Configure your build system.

If you are using CMake, you can use the following in your CMakeLists.txt:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(my_project)
 
# Make sure vcpkg toolchain file is passed at configure time
find_package(ftxui CONFIG REQUIRED)
 
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main
    PRIVATE ftxui::screen
    PRIVATE ftxui::dom
    PRIVATE ftxui::component
)

main.cpp

#include <ftxui/component/screen_interactive.hpp>
#include <ftxui/component/component.hpp>
#include <ftxui/component/component_options.hpp>
 
int main() {
  using namespace ftxui;
 
  auto screen = ScreenInteractive::TerminalOutput();
  auto button = Button("Click me", [] { std::cout << "Clicked!\n"; });
 
  screen.Loop(button);
}
