# Pkg-config
If you are using bare Makefiles, you can use `pkg-config` to generate the include flags that point to where the library is installed:
```sh
pkg-config nlohmann_json --cflags
```
A pkg-config file is installed by [CMake](cmake.md#json_install) (when the `JSON_Install` option is enabled, which is
the default for a top-level build) as well as by several [package managers](package_managers.md).
Users of the [Meson build system](package_managers.md#meson) will also be able to use a system-wide library, which will be found by `pkg-config`:
```meson
json = dependency('nlohmann_json', required: true)
```
