Import eigen library to ROS Noetic

Hey, I am fairly new with ROS. I want to do some matrix math and want to use the Eigen library. I have read the ROS wiki/eigen but I still have questions. The link for the FindEigen.cmake inside the wiki does not work. Moreover the package should be compileable on another PC where the library is not installed (it is a submission for a university project, the professor probably has the library not installed). Do you know how to do that?

If you need any more informationen just tell me, sorry for my bad english.

Do you mean Eigen should work on a PC where Eigen is not installed?

it is a submission for a university project

Professor wants you to learn, basically. So, please spend some time reading and learning. Posting a complete answer will hurt the professor's sentiment!

You need to figure out the difference between system libraries and ros packages. Not every piece of code is part of ros, and ros sometimes relies on general purpose libraries. You might want to read question #q215408.
