+
+There are 2 methods to enable CCACHE:
+
+1.) Set environment variables
+
+```bash
+# Requires CMake 3.17 (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/envvar/CMAKE_LANG_COMPILER_LAUNCHER.html)
+export CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
+export CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
+```
+
+2.) Pass in cache variables
+
+```
+cmake ... -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
