Can't include JUCE with cmake

Linux
1

Hi !

I am trying to setup my first audio plugin.

OS: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS.

Juce version: 9.0.0

Cmake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
project(FistSynth)
find_package(Freetype)

set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 23)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

add_subdirectory(JUCE)

error message:

You’ll need to install the dependencies:
