Before installing Touca, we need to install the required dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt install -y cmake git g++ make
This command will install the build-essential software, Git, and CMake, which are the dependencies required for installing Touca.
The next step is to clone Touca repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/trytouca/touca-cpp.git
This command will clone the Touca repository into your local machine.
After cloning the Touca repository, navigate to the directory by running the following command:
cd touca-cpp
Now, we need to create a build directory and run the CMake command to configure the build environment using the following two commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
Once the build configuration is complete, we can start installing Touca by running the following command:
sudo make install
Wait for the installation process to complete.
To verify if Touca is correctly installed on your system, run the following command in the terminal:

If Touca is installed correctly, you will get the help message that lists all the available commands.
