+Installing Cantera
+******************
+
+Basic Instructions
+------------------
+
+To compile using the default options, run `scons build` followed by
+`scons install`.
+
+Configuration options are specified with `name=value` on the command line, e.g.:
+`scons build optimize=n prefix=/home/$USER/cantera`
+
+The full list of configuration options and their default values can be shown by
+running `scons help`. The list of available scons commands (e.g. `build`) can be
+shown by running `scons` with no other arguments.
+
+
+Detailed Instructions
+---------------------

+See the file `doc/sphinx/compiling.rst` or the HTML instructions
+available at http://cantera.github.com/docs/sphinx/html/compiling.html.
