## Question

* * *

Hi.

I’m someone who wants to build imgui sample code  
First

> ~/Cinder/blocks

among

```terminal
git clone https://github.com/simongeilfus/Cinder-ImGui.git
cd Cinder-ImGui / lib
git clone https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.git

```

And introduced ImGui.

And

> ~/Cinder/blocks /samples/Basic/linux

among  
I ran the following command

```terminal
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

```

Then, the following error will occur.

```error_log
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt: 14 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "cinder" with any
of the following names:

cinderConfig.cmake
    cinder-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "cinder" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"cinder_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "cinder"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

```

How can I build it?

I would be happy if you could tell me.

Hi,

If you’re using the latest master branch, Dear ImGui is shipped with libcinder, you don’t need the older Cinder-ImGui block. It should be available to your cinder app by default.

cheers,  
Rich
