+
+The GUDHI library is a generic open source C++ library, with a Python interface, for Topological Data Analysis (TDA) and Higher Dimensional Geometry Understanding. The library offers state-of-the-art data structures and algorithms to construct simplicial complexes and compute persistent homology.
+
+# Compilation and installation
+
+To install GUDHI, you can follow the [C++ compilation procedure](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/installation.html), the [Python compilation procedure](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/installation.html), use our [conda-forge package](https://gudhi.inria.fr/conda/), or [go with Docker](https://gudhi.inria.fr/dockerfile/).
