This chapter is a detailed guide to the installation procedure of SCIP.

SCIP lets you freely choose between its own, manually maintained Makefile system or the CMake cross platform build system generator. For new users, we strongly recommend to use CMake, if available on their targeted platform.

Please note that there are differences between both systems, most notably, the generated library libscip will not be compatible between the versions. For more information, we refer to the INSTALL file of the SCIP source code distribution.
