Description
Hi, looking into old issues regarding cmake support, I've noticed that a installation target was originally supported as:
`cmake .. -DTENSORSTORE_ENABLE_INSTALL:BOOL=true -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local`
But this changed around version v0.1.23.
Supporting installation through cmake enables reuse of compilation between users in large facilities avoiding long configure/compile step times. By enabling installation you will likely also enable packaging, this make possible to use the project with packagers like spack, vcpkg, conan and OS packaging systems. Packaging greatly reduces the fricction to use the library for less specialized users.
Could you bring back this capability?
