error: header file not found

Thanks for the report. This error usually happens when the CLI binary is installed, but the full SDK headers are not.

Please check whether vix.hpp exists on your machine, for example:

find /usr/local /usr ~/.local -name vix.hpp 2>/dev/null

If nothing is found, you likely installed the CLI-only release instead of the SDK.

Use the SDK package or the installer in SDK mode so that headers such as vix.hpp and vix/... are installed under your prefix.

This issue can be closed.

It was reported on Vix.cpp 2.3.1, and the installation/SDK flow has been improved since then.

The current Vix.cpp install process now clearly supports the full SDK mode, including the CLI, headers, and libraries needed to build applications using:

#include <vix.hpp>

The documentation also now explains how to verify the SDK headers:

find ~/.local/include -name vix.hpp 2>/dev/null

If the header is missing, users should reinstall the latest Vix.cpp SDK with:

curl -fsSL https://vixcpp.com/install.sh | bash

So this is fixed in the current Vix.cpp versions.
