Note that if you install the library to other places other than `/opt/unitree_robotics`, you need to make sure the path is added to "${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}" so that cmake can find it with "find_package()".

### macOS Note
The C++ SDK currently only supports Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) with pre-built binaries for x86_64 and aarch64. The static library `libunitree_sdk2.a` is ELF format and cannot be used on macOS.

For macOS users, use the Python SDK instead: [unitree_sdk2_python](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python), which uses CycloneDDS Python bindings and works cross-platform.
