## 10 Installation

> BUG: This section is out of date. `Geomview` follows the GNU-installation habits, data goes to `PREFIX/share/geomview/`, user executables to `PREFIX/bin/`, private executables to `PREFIX/libexec/geomview/`, libraries to `PREFIX/lib/` where `PREFIX` denotes the installation prefiex specified for the `TOPSRCDIR/configure` script. Please have a look at the files `TOPSRCDIR/INSTALL` and `TOPSRCDIR/INSTALL.Geomview` for installation instructions.

What you do to install Geomview depends on which kind of computer you have and on whether you have the source distribution or the binary distribution.

In general, if you don't care about looking at Geomview's source code, you should get one of the binary distribution. The binary installation is much easier and quicker than compiling and installing the source code.
