• LAPACK can be installed with make. The configuration must be set in the make.inc file. A make.inc.example for a Linux machine running GNU compilers is given in the main directory. Some specific make.inc are also available in the INSTALL directory.
• LAPACK includes also the CMake build. You will need to have CMake installed on your machine. CMake will allow an easy installation on a Windows Machine. An example CMake build to install the LAPACK library under $HOME/.local/lapack/ is:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=$HOME/.local/lapack ..
cmake --build . -j --target install

• LAPACK can be built and installed using vcpkg dependency manager:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh  # ./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat for Windows
