The OpenStudio SDK installer can install components for a C++ API, C# API, Ruby API, or Python. Depending on which programing language you are using, you can install the appropriate API. How you use the OpenStudio SDK after installing it depends on the programming language you are using as well. The OpenStudio Application is one example of a C++ program that uses the OpenStudio SDK's C++ API. The OpenStudio Application uses CMake for it's build configuration system, it uses a CMake finder to find and use the OpenStudio SDK's C++ API. You can see this finder here.
