have Catch at all, or provides it in obsolete version (Ubuntu 16.04,
I am looking at you).

## Installing Catch2 from git repository
If you cannot install Catch2 from a package manager (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04
provides catch only in version 1.2.0) you might want to install it from
the repository instead. Assuming you have enough rights, you can just
install it to the default location, like so:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
$ cd Catch2
$ cmake -Bbuild -H. -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
$ sudo cmake --build build/ --target install
```
If you do not have superuser rights, you will also need to specify
[CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.html)
when configuring the build, and then modify your calls to
[find_package](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html)
accordingly.

The simplest way to get Catch2 is to download the latest [single header version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catchorg/Catch2/master/single_include/catch2/catch.hpp). The single header is generated by merging a set of individual headers but it is still just normal source code in a header file.
Alternative ways of getting Catch2 include using your system package
