<!--- This is the source file for this topics. Can be edited. -->
This page gives hints on how to install ABINIT, mostly links to other files.
## Introduction
There are two methodologies to build ABINIT from scratch (compile dependencies, compile ABINIT, make the links).
The first, well-established one, is based on the Autotools (configure ; make ; make install).
The second one is based on CMake.
Instead of building ABINIT from scratch It is often more convenient to build ABINIT using a distribution, although such installation is not often up-to-date.
For the Autotools methodology, see the detailed tutorial [[tutorial:abinit_build|How to build ABINIT using the Autotools]].
For the recent (v10.0) CMake methodology, see dedicated section of the documentation [installation notes of ABINIT](/installation).
For the installation of ABINIT on a computer with GPU(s) (v10.0, i.e. `experimental`), see [the GPU installation notes](/INSTALL_gpu).
For the installation from some linux distributions, see the generic [installation notes of ABINIT](/installation).
