+/*! \page installation GUDHI installation
+ * \tableofcontents
+ * As GUDHI is a header only library, there is no need to install the library.
+ *
+ * Examples of GUDHI headers inclusion can be found in \ref demos.
+ *
+ * \section compiling Compiling
+ * The library uses c++11 and requires <a target="_blank" href="http://www.boost.org/">Boost</a> with version 1.48.0 or
+ * more recent. It is a multi-platform library and compiles on Linux, Mac OSX and Visual Studio 2015.
+ *
+ * \subsection demos Demos and examples
+ * To build the demos and examples, run the following commands in a terminal:
+\verbatim cd /path-to-gudhi/
+mkdir build
+cd build/
+cmake ..
+make \endverbatim
+ * A list of examples is available <a href="examples.html">here</a>.
+ *
+ * \subsection testsuites Test suites
+ * To test your build, run the following command in a terminal:
+ * \verbatim make test \endverbatim
+ *
+ * \subsection documentationgeneration Documentation
+ * To generate the documentation, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.doxygen.org/">Doxygen</a> is required.
+ * Run the following command in a terminal:
+\verbatim
+make doxygen
+# Documentation will be generated in the folder YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss_GUDHI_X.Y.Z/doc/html/
+# You can customize the directory name by calling `cmake -DUSER_VERSION_DIR=/my/custom/folder`
+\endverbatim
+ *
+ * \section optionallibrary Optional third-party library
+ * \subsection gmp GMP
+ * The multi-field persistent homology algorithm requires GMP which is a free library for arbitrary-precision
+ * arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers.
+ *
+ * The following example requires the <a target="_blank" href="http://gmplib.org/">GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic
+ * Library</a> (GMP) and will not be built if GMP is not installed:
+ * \li <a href="_persistent_cohomology_2rips_multifield_persistence_8cpp-example.html">
+ * Persistent_cohomology/rips_multifield_persistence.cpp</a>
+ *
+ * Having GMP version 4.2 or higher installed is recommended.
+ *
+ * \subsection cgal CGAL
+ * The \ref alpha_complex data structure, \ref bottleneck_distance, and few examples requires CGAL, which is a C++
+ * library which provides easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms.
+ *
+ * \note There is no need to install CGAL, you can just <CODE>cmake . && make</CODE> CGAL (or even
+ * <CODE>cmake -DCGAL_HEADER_ONLY=ON .</CODE> for CGAL version &ge; 4.8.0), thereafter you will be able to compile
+ * GUDHI by calling <CODE>cmake -DCGAL_DIR=/your/path/to/CGAL-X.Y .. && make</CODE>
+ *
+ * Having CGAL version 4.4.0 or higher installed is recommended. The procedure to install this library according to
+ * your operating system is detailed here http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/installation.html
+ *
+ * The following examples/utilities require the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cgal.org/">Computational Geometry Algorithms
