    📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.

  • I personally would thoroughly recommend CPM. It's a CMake plugin which you install as a script in your CMake project and you can then use its function CPMFindPackage(), which basically wraps find_package() and ExternalProject() to use the former if the package is installed on the machine, or downloads it and builds it in-tree using the latter if not.
