cmake --build build

Troubleshooting

If you are running from Linux or compiling with certain compilers, you may get a message asking you to add the flag -fconcepts. If this happens, replace the lines in the CMakeLists.txt file with

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-fconcepts -Ofast -flto -ffast-math -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -pedantic")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-fconcepts -Ofast -flto -ffast-math")

To run the executable
