# Create a new project

$ miao new my_project

 Added     CMakelists.txt
 (debug)   `
           set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
           file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCES "src/*.cpp")
           `
 Created   `src/` directory

 (debug)   ```set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
           file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCES "src/*.cpp")```

• miao add - Adding libraries

Configure header files with miao add LIB --include_dirs=DIR1,DIR2

$ cd my_project/


$ miao add ncurses --include_dirs=$(brew --prefix ncurses)/include
Adding header directories ['/usr/local/opt/ncurses/include']
Adding ('ncurses',) for `my_project`

and library files with --lib_dirs=

$ miao new tui && cd tui/  # Created project called `tui`
$ miao add ftxui-dom ftxui-screen ftxui-component --include_dirs=/usr/local/include,/usr/local/include/ftxui --lib_dirs=/usr/local/lib

Adding ('ftxui-dom', 'ftxui-screen', 'ftxui-component') for `tui`
CMakeLists.txt
find_library(ftxui-dom NAMES ftxui-dom PATHS /usr/local/lib)
find_library(ftxui-screen NAMES ftxui-screen PATHS /usr/local/lib)
find_library(ftxui-component NAMES ftxui-component PATHS /usr/local/lib)
target_include_directories(tui.exe PRIVATE /usr/local/include /usr/local/include/ftxui)
target_link_libraries(tui.exe ${ftxui-dom} ${ftxui-screen} ${ftxui-component})
