+Sometimes you want to build a small C++ example against an installed library.
+This is fairly easy if installed systemwide. Just link against the correct
+librar (in this case libupm-tm1637) and then add /usr/include/upm to the loader
+path:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+g++ test.cxx -lupm_tm1637 -I/usr/include/upm
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can also use pkg-config to return the information to you, which is
+considered the correct way if including UPM in a build system like cmake or
+autotools on linux.

+pkg-config --cflags --libs upm-tm1637
