You will likely find that the easiest approach to testing the book's recipes in a software environment (which contains all of the dependencies preinstalled) is to use a Docker image that we have set up, based on Ubuntu 18.04. You can install Docker on your favorite operating system, following the official documentation at https://docs.docker.com.
Once Docker is installed, you can run our image and test the recipes with the full software environment in place, as follows:
$ docker run -it devcafe/cmake-cookbook_ubuntu-18.04
$ git clone https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook.git
$ cd cmake-cookbook
$ pipenv install --three
$ pipenv run python testing/collect_tests.py 'chapter-*/recipe-*'
