			Introduction
			============

			This module is header only. So one just has to ``#include <GooseFEM/GooseFEM.h>``, and to tell the compiler where the header-files are.

			Using CMake
			===========

			The following structure can be used for your project's ``CMakeLists.txt``:

			.. code-block:: cmake

			find_package(GooseFEM REQUIRED)

			add_executable(myexec mymain.cpp)

			target_link_libraries(myexec PRIVATE
			GooseFEM
			xtensor::optimize
			xtensor::use_xsimd)

			See the `documentation of xtensor <https://xtensor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ concerning optimisation.

			.. note::

			There are additional targets available to expedite your ``CMakeLists.txt``:

			* ``GooseFEM::assert``: enable GooseFEM assertions.
			* ``GooseFEM::debug``: enable GooseFEM and xtensor assertions (slow).
			* ``GooseFEM::compiler_warnings``: enable compiler warnings.

			By hand
			=======

			Presuming that the compiler is ``c++``, compile using::

			c++ -I/path/to/GooseFEM/include ...

			Note that you have to take care of the xtensor and Eigen dependencies, the C++ version, optimisation, enabling xsimd, ...

			Using pkg-config
			================

			Find the location of the headers can be automatised using pkg-config::

			pkg-config --cflags GooseFEM
