Installation

Although xsimd is a header-only library, we provide standardized means to install it, with package managers or with cmake.

Besides the xsimd headers, all these methods place the cmake project configuration file in the right location so that third-party projects can use cmake’s find_package to locate xsimd headers.

Using the conda package

A package for xsimd is available on the conda package manager.

conda install -c conda-forge xsimd

Using the Conan package

If you are using Conan to manage your dependencies, merely add xsimd/x.y.z@omaralvarez/public-conan to your requires, where x.y.z is the release version you want to use. Please file issues in [conan-xsimd](https://github.com/omaralvarez/conan-xsimd) if you experience problems with the packages. Sample conanfile.txt:

[requires]
xsimd/7.2.3@omaralvarez/public-conan

[generators]
cmake

Using the Spack package

A package for xsimd is available on the Spack package manager.

spack install xsimd
spack load xsimd

From source with cmake

You can also install xsimd from source with cmake. On Unix platforms, from the source directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
make install

On Windows platforms, from the source directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
nmake
nmake install
