GLM packages a `glmConfig.cmake` and `glmConfig-version.cmake` in the root of the repository and the release archives. To find GLM with CMake you can pass `-Dglm_DIR=<path to glm root>/cmake/glm/` when running CMake. You can then either add `${GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS}` to your target's include directories, or link against the imported `glm::glm` target. GLM provides the CMake package configuration files `glmConfig.cmake` and `glmConfig-version.cmake`.
To use these configurations files, you may need to set the `glm_DIR` variable to the directory containing the configuration files `<path to glm root>/cmake/glm/`.
Use the `find_package` CMake command to load the configurations into your project. Lastly, either link your executable against the `glm::glm` target or add `${GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS}` to your target's include directories:
```cmake
set(glm_DIR <path to glm root>/cmake/glm) # if necessary
find_package(glm REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(<your executable> glm::glm)
```
