+\page medmem_install Configuring and Installing MEDMEM from sources
+
+The MEDMEM library can be configured in several manners so that it can run inside or outside the Salome platform. Also, partitioning and parallel functionalities are optional.
+
+The sources of the library are located in the \a MED_SRC directory. 
+The first step consists in preparing the configuration of the library :
+\verbatim
+cd ${MED_SRC}
+./build_configure
+\end verbatim
+
+This will create a MEDMEM library with link to the SALOME Kernel. If it is desirable to have a standalone version of the library to be used independently from SALOME, use :
+\verbatim
+cd ${MED_SRC}
+./build_configure --without-kernel
+\endverbatim
+
+The library can then be configured :
+\verbatim
+mkdir ../MED_BUILD
+cd ../MED_BUILD
+../MED_SRC/configure --prefix=`pwd`/../MED_INSTALL
+\endverbatim
+
+This will configure the library without splitting functionalities. ParaMEDMEM will be compiled if an MPI version has been found.
+
+The following options can be useful to configure MEDMEM :
+- \a --enable-splitter=yes will trigger the compilation of the MEDSPLITTER tool,
+- \a --with-metis=${METISDIR} will specify a location for the METIS library,
+- \a --with-scotch=${SCOTCHDIR} will specify a location for the SCOTCH library,
+- \a --with-med2=${MED2DIR} specifies a location for MED-file library,
+- \a --with-hdf5=${HDF5DIR} specifies a location for the HDF5 library (must be the same as that used for the MED-file library)
+- \a --with-lam=${LAMDIR} specifies an install path for a LAM MPI library,
+- \a --with-mpich=${MPICHDIR} specifies an install path for a MPICH-1 library.
