    -v, --verbose                Print debug logs

## Library Usage

## Dependencies

PiHelper depends on cmake, curl, openssl, and json-c.

### Ubuntu Install Command

    sudo apt install cmake \
        make \
        gcc \
        g++ \
        libcurl4-openssl-dev \
        libssl-dev \
        libjson-c-dev

### Fedora Install Command

    sudo dnf install cmake \
        make \
        gcc \
        gcc-c++ \
        libcurl-devel \
        openssl-devel \
        json-c-devel

### MacOS Install Command

    brew install cmake \
        autoconf \
        automake \
        libtool

## Building

Once you have the dependencies installed, you can build the project with cmake:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make

By default, this will build a static library you can link to. If you'd like to build a shared library, use
this cmake command instead:

    cmake -DPIHELPER_SHARED=BOOL:ON ..

If you'd like to have the command line tool as well, you can use this:

    cmake -DPIHELPER_EXECUTABLE=BOOL:ON ..

If you need the development headers on your system, you can run this:

    cmake -DPIHELPER_DEV=BOOL:ON ..

Once you've run cmake with the desired options, you can install pihelper to your system by runnning the
following after building:

    sudo make install
