accessing cpprest2.10 resources

Hi Ubuntu support,

I am using Ubuntu Jammy:

-------------
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy
------------------

I have successfully installed the package "cpprest2.10".

My intention is to use this package in a c++ file via the " #include <folder/include.h> " or " #include "folder/include.h" "directives.

When I run "apt-file search cpprest2.10" on the Ubuntu command line I get these 2 lines:

libcpprest2.10: /usr/share/doc/libcpprest2.10/changelog.Debian.gz
libcpprest2.10: /usr/share/doc/libcpprest2.10/copyright

This seems to indicate that the package is installed in the /usr/share/doc/libcpprest2.10 folder.

Do I need to unzip the .gz file to get access to the package's header files? If so, do I unzip into the folder: /usr/share/doc/libcpprest2.10/ ?? If not, how can I a) refer to the headers in the C++ code b) refer to the package headers and any objects when I compile with the g++ compiler??

When I refer to one libcpprest2.10 header file via either of these directives in my cpp file and try to compile with g++:

#include <cpprest/http_client.h>
#include "cpprest/http_client.h"

g++ reports : "fatal error: cpprest/http_client.h: No such file or directory"

Thanks for your patience - although I am experienced at C++ coding, I am new to unix and Ubuntu!

Best regards
Chris
