Installation of OpenTimelineIO

First, install a substitute for RapidJSON. This updates the upstream version that has not been updated since 2016 and avoids downloading untagged releases of external submodules. 

tar -xvf ../OpenTimelineIO-rapidjson-20260513.tar.xz \
    --strip-components=1 -C src/deps

Install OpenTimelineIO by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr     \
      -D OTIO_FIND_IMATH=ON            \
      -D OTIO_AUTOMATIC_SUBMODULES=OFF \
      -D OTIO_DEPENDENCIES_INSTALL=OFF \
      .. &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install
