the `CROW_ENABLE_SSL` variable to enable the support for https
the `CROW_ENABLE_COMPRESSION` variable to enable the support for http compression

!!! note

By default, Crow sets `CROW_ENABLE_SSL=true` and `CROW_ENABLE_COMPRESSION=true` for CMake builds. You must call `find_package` and manually link with these libraries in your build if you keep these defaults.


```
find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)
find_package(ZLIB REQUIRED)

target_link_libraries(main
PRIVATE
OpenSSL::SSL
OpenSSL::Crypto
ZLIB::ZLIB
Crow::Crow
)
```

!!! note

You can uninstall Crow at a later time using `make uninstall`.
