-## Linking with the Library
+## Library Compilation & Installation
+
+This project uses CMake as the main build system and it provides the following
+CMake options:
+- `SPU_COMPILE_STATIC_LIB`: Compile the static library (default = `ON`)
+- `SPU_COMPILE_SHARED_LIB`: Compile the shared library (default = `OFF`)
+- `SPU_LINK_HWLOC`: Link with the `hwloc` library (used for threads pinning) 
+  (default = `OFF`)
+- `SPU_COLORS`: Enable the colors in the terminal (default = `ON`)
+- `SPU_TESTS`: Enable the compilation of the tests (default = `ON`)
+- `SPU_STACKTRACE`: Print the stack trace when an exception is raised (and link 
+  with the `cpptrace` lib) (default = `ON`)
+- `SPU_STACKTRACE_SEGFAULT`: Try to print the stack trace when a segfault occurs 
+  (and link with the `cpptrace` lib) (default = `OFF`)
+- `SPU_SHOW_DEPRECATED`: Print message each time a deprecated function is called 
+  (default = `OFF`)
+- `SPU_FAST`: Remove checks to speedup the code (default = `OFF`)
+
+Build the library in `debug` mode:
+```bash
+mkdir build_debug
+cd build_debug
+cmake ..
+make -j4
+ctest
+```
+
+Build the library in `release` mode:
+```bash
+mkdir build_release
+cd build_release
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Wall -march=native -funroll-loops"
+make -j4
+ctest
+```
+
+Install the library on the system (`/usr/local`):
+```bash
+cmake --install .
+```
+
+Install the library in a custom path (`/opt/streampu`):
+```bash
+cmake --install . --prefix /opt/streampu/
+```
+
+## Link with the Library
 
 `StreamPU` exposes two CMake targets:
-- `spu-shared-lib`: `StreamPU` shared library, includes and definitions
-- `spu-static-lib`: `StreamPU` static library, includes and definitions
+- `spu::spu-static-lib`: `StreamPU` static library, includes and definitions 
+  (compiled by default)
+- `spu::spu-shared-lib`: `StreamPU` shared library, includes and definitions
 
-For now, the recommended way to use `StreamPU` is to add it as a 
-`add_subdirectory` into your `CMakeList.txt` file. 
+It is possible to link with `StreamPU` from a sub-directory or from an installed
+library. Both methods are described in the next sections.

-`StreamPU` static library, here is a minimal `CMakeLists.txt` file to

+### From an Installed Library
+
+Let us suppose that we want to produce the `my-exe` executable that links with 
+`StreamPU` static library installed on the system. Here is a minimal 
+`CMakeLists.txt` file to generate it:
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

+# require C++11 compiler ------------------------------------------------------
+set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

+
+# find and link with `StreamPU` -----------------------------------------------
+find_package(StreamPU CONFIG 0.1.0 REQUIRED)
+target_link_libraries(my-exe PUBLIC spu::spu-static-lib)
+```
+
+If `StreamPU` is installed in a specific location (for instance: 
+`/opt/streampu`), you can help CMake to find it as follow:
+```bash
+cmake .. -DStreamPU_DIR=/opt/streampu/lib/cmake/streampu
+```
+
+Or, if StreamPU has been compiled with the `cpptrace` library:
+```bash
+cmake .. -DStreamPU_DIR=/opt/streampu/lib/cmake/streampu -Dcpptrace_DIR=/opt/streampu/lib/cmake/cpptrace
 ```
