This template project provides a drop-in sample to either start building a new application with, or using RAFT in an existing CMake project.

First, please refer to our installation docs for the minimum requirements to use RAFT.

Once the minimum requirements are satisfied, this example template application can be built with the provided build.sh script. This is a bash script that calls the appropriate CMake commands, so you can look into it to see the typical CMake based build workflow.

This directory (RAFT_SOURCE/cpp/template) can be copied directly in order to build a new application with RAFT.

RAFT can be integrated into an existing CMake project by copying the contents in the configure rapids-cmake and configure raft sections of the provided CMakeLists.txt into your project, along with cmake/thirdparty/get_raft.cmake.

Make sure to link against the appropriate Cmake targets. Use raft::raftto add make the headers available and raft::compiled when utilizing the shared library.
