Description

Currently the Build and Test CI action doesn't test installing the library. This is easy enough to do, though the how we do it may be a bit more involved depending on what we want to achieve. Could have a simple test program that uses the installed library perhaps.

Research direction

Start by locating the Build and Test CI action and the project's install configuration. Determine how a small test program can use the installed library, then run the existing CI checks with installation covered; done means CI verifies that installation succeeds and the installed library can be used.
