Note, the master branch is now libCVD-2.0 which is in beta and requires C++14.
To install on a unix system:
./configure && make && sudo make install
To verify that a few things work, you can optioinally run
make test
You need a C++14 compiler.
All libraries are optional but you will be missing features if the libraries aren't present. The configure script will tell you what's present and what's not.
