@y0urself This probably needs to be moved back to the docs repository, unless i had missed something this seems to be not an issue in the gvmd component as the prerequisite is already documented here:

cJSON >= 1.7.14 (Debian package: libcjson-dev)

https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/blob/main/INSTALL.md#prerequisites-for-greenbone-vulnerability-manager

Only the community docs are missing this package here:
