==================

Build steps:
1.Install libzmq from apt repository
- `sudo apt install libzmq3-dev`
2. Build cppzmq via cmake, pack with cpack, and install the Debian package via apt.
- `git clone https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq.git`
- `cd cppzmq`
- `mkdir build`
- `cd build`
- `cmake ..`
- `make -j$(nproc)`
- `cpack`
- `sudo apt install ./cppzmq*.deb`


or use legacy build:

1. Build [libzmq](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq) via cmake. This does an out of source build and installs the build files
- `git clone https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq.git`
