Please Note: I've never used JSON before, have minimum experience with Windows Sub Linux, and am still probably considered a beginner in C++. I've taken two C++ courses at my university and am working on a project in my free time, which I need a JSON parser for so I can read from many JSON files and store the data into my program.

I'm following this tutorial:
Accessing JSON Data with C++[^]

I've successfully built the program in:
build/debug
like it says to do for #1.

Now to use the program in my own C++ project, am I supposed to put the build folder into my project's directory? Then #include <...> in my code? I'm confused because the tutorial says:
the top-level JsonCpp folder contains a directory named include that contains header files such as json/json.h and json/writer.h. These are needed to compile C++ applications that access JsonCpp routines.
but I don't see json.h or writer.h in the file path it mentions:
https://gyazo.com/96f1ddfebef0eeaff94a9b8254d35a4f[^]

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

What I have tried:

Building the program, deleting it and rebuilding it (In Windows Sub-Linux using Ubuntu).

Oh I didn't see your comment until now, thanks. Will check that out for future reference.

I guess the path
jsoncpp-master\build\debug\include\json
wherein you are looking for the headers json.h, and writer.h is wrong.

I (again) guess they are in the
jsoncpp-master\include\json
folder.

See jsoncpp/include/json at master · open-source-parsers/jsoncpp · GitHub[^].
