Except the other screenshot that I sent was from the other code that I was trying to run from that Linux link here on the SFML site.  I can follow that other link for version 3.0 that's fine, however, based on what you said, along with the fact that it's the Daylight project that I'm interested in being able to test, I would much rather remove, re-install, or just switch to my Windows computer at this point, because this is the first time I've ever used cmake as well, and I honestly don't like it at all.  Everything I've ever done before was simply the g++ compiler through the terminal, or the DevC++ compiler on my Windows machine, and I am more than happy to hear you out and your approach.  I am completely fine abandoning the cmake approach if I'm able to.  Otherwise, if this Daylight project has no other way around that, and I have to stick to using cmake, then I will, but I'm all ears if you have a better way of making this project work in a Windows environment.  I can easily sign into my Windows machine.  I'm only on my mac because it's my laptop.

"(A couple of other posts came in while I was writing this, so point 1 already mentioned)"
At this stage, that is a mute point and I've voiced my response (and rightfully so) so I'm ready to actually discuss this if people want to.  Full transparency, I don't know either, as mentioned in my first post this is my first time doing anything with SFML.  The version that my terminal in my mac says I'm using is 3.0.0
attached below.  The link I sent from this website is the only one I found for the mac, and from a tutorial I was following online.  Something is off because the video was from 2021, so I'm confused how the uploader was able to get their version to work since it was well after 2018.  Not questioning your experience on the subject, I'm just unable to understand why it's not working in relation to your response.  Now, I will say, even though I was unable to get that sample program to run from the linux page that I sent, the whole reason I'm trying to get this set up on my computer in the first place is to run this program here: https://github.com/SundeepK/Daylight and I cannot, which was why I took a step back and decided to follow a tutorial to setup SFML on my mac.  That daylight program is what I need to compile and I can't successfully run it, and I have no idea how to go about making it work.  I've installed everything that was expected in order to get SFML on my computer, so I'm at a standstill.

I give back what I'm handed.  I don't owe you guys any kindness, but I did in my initial post, and the response literally did nothing because I don't know what it means, so factual or not, it's entirely irrelevant.  Enabling others bad behavior by never calling them out for their poor behavior is what has brought this world to the poison it's reached so you aren't helping either.  Could have just left the links without the extra verbiage, but I'm now responding in regard to your demeanor as well.  If you want respect from me, you need to give it back as I did from the very beginning.  Very simple.  I gave you respect from the beginning but it doesn't seem to have mattered, and ONCE again, the poison of online forums reigns supreme.  You can change your tone too or not speak to me at all, because speaking to me that way is only going to get this kind of response in return.  Happy new year asshole.

Now your response to my initial inquiry makes complete sense.  If there are no professionals here, then my code will not easily get resolved, and you are clearly not someone who wants or can help, so you don't need to respond to me anymore.

Okay "Thrasher" well that doesn't tell me a thing because as I mentioned, I'm new to SFML so is there anyone who knows how to use forethought in these circumstances to properly communicate, or is this going to be a whole social handicap issue with this community?  If I had to guess I would say the ladder, but hopefully someone who is at least decent will respectfully respond and provide helpful insight because as of now, I'm still in the exact same state as I first posted and one douche named Thrasher who once again confirmed why I should never trust forums.  Any professionals here, or all just kids in their moms basement?

Greetings,
I am new to SFML and am trying to run the simple test program found here: https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/start-linux.php. but I am unable to compile the code, and getting errors due to a version problem.  Even though I've downloaded the latest version and confirmed I'm on 3.0.0 it's still telling me,
"SFML found but version too low (requested: 2, found: 1.x)"
I've attached a screenshot from my terminal of the error, and I'm very confused why it's saying version 1.x and requested 2, when I have version 3 installed.  Thoughts?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
