+Installation
+============
+
+--------------
+Pre-requisites
+--------------
+
+SALOME platform relies on a set of third-party softwares; some of them are needed
+at build time only, while other ones are needed in runtime also.
+
+For more information about the pre-requisites please visit SALOME platform web
+site:
+
+* Check Release Notes and Software Requirements of the latest SALOME release at
+
+  <http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/current-version/>
+
+* Pre-requisites page at SALOME web site:

+
+------------------
+Basic Installation
+------------------
+
+The build procedure of the SALOME platform is implemented with CMake.
+In order to build the module you have to do the following actions: 
+
+1. Set up environment for pre-requisites (see "Pre-requisites" section above).
+
+2. Create a build directory:
+
+   % mkdir KERNEL_BUILD
+
+3. Configure the build procedure:
+
+   % cd KERNEL_BUILD
+   % cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<mode> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_directory> <path_to_src_dir>
+
+   where
+   - <mode> is either Release or Debug (default: Release);
+   - <installation_directory> is a destination folder to install SALOME KERNEL
+      module (default: /usr); 
+   - <path_to_src_dir> is a path to the SALOME KERNEL sources directory.
+
+   Note: by default (if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is not given), SALOME KERNEL
+   module will be configured for installation to the /usr directory that requires
+   root permissions to complete the installation.
+
+4. Build and install:
+
+   % make
+   % make install
+
+   This will install SALOME KERNEL module to the <installation_directory>
+   specified to cmake command on the previous step.
+
+-------------------
+Custom installation
+-------------------
+
+SALOME KERNEL module supports a set of advanced configuration options;
+for more details learn CMakeLists.txt file in the root source directory.
+
+You can also use other options of cmake command to customize your installation.
