3. Verify the Installation

   ls /usr/local/lib/libmatrix.a
   ls /usr/local/include/matrix.h

macOS

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/rubikproxy/matrix.h
   cd matrix.h

2. Build the Library

   make

3. Install the Library

   sudo cp libmatrix.a /usr/local/lib/
   sudo cp include/matrix.h /usr/local/include/
   sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libmatrix.a

4. Verify the Installation

   ls /usr/local/lib/libmatrix.a
   ls /usr/local/include/matrix.h

Windows

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/rubikproxy/matrix.h
   cd matrix.h

2. Build the Library

   gcc -Iinclude -Wall -Wextra -c src/matrix.c -o src/matrix.o
   ar rcs libmatrix.a src/matrix.o

3. Install the Library

   copy include\matrix.h "C:\Program Files\MatrixLib"

4. Set Environment Variables

   setx LIBRARY_PATH "C:\Program Files\MatrixLib"

5. Verify the Installation

   dir "C:\Program Files\MatrixLib"

Usage

Example Code

Here’s an example demonstrating how to use the library:

1. Create a Source File

   #include 
   #include 
   
   int main() {
       // Create matrices
       Matrix *a = create_matrix(2, 2);
       Matrix *b = create_matrix(2, 2);
   
       // Initialize matrices
       set_matrix_element(a, 0, 0, 1);
       set_matrix_element(a, 0, 1, 2);
       set_matrix_element(a, 1, 0, 3);
       set_matrix_element(a, 1, 1, 4);
   
       set_matrix_element(b, 0, 0, 5);
       set_matrix_element(b, 0, 1, 6);
       set_matrix_element(b, 1, 0, 7);
       set_matrix_element(b, 1, 1, 8);
   
       // Add matrices
       Matrix *c = add_matrices(a, b);
   
       // Print result
       print_matrix(c);
   
       // Deallocate matrices
       free_matrix(a);
       free_matrix(b);
       free_matrix(c);
   
       return 0;
   }

2. Compile and Run

   gcc -o matrix_example matrix_example.c -L/usr/local/lib -lmatrix
   ./matrix_example

Function Reference

Detailed documentation for each function is provided in the matrix.h header file.
