Overview
From the 2.22.0 version, Magics is using CMake for its compilation and installation. This is a first step towards an homogenisation of the installation procedures for all ECMWF packages.
Binary versions
Before you install from source code you might want to check that already compiled binary versions are available to you. Magics and third-party dependent software packages might be available as binary packages for you platform in form of RPMs or Debian packages. You might find them by going to the software search services, such as for OpenSuSE and SLES at http://software.opensuse.org/search (select "Search options" - "Include users' home projects"). Ubuntu maintains a Magics version in their system default repository.

Installing Magics through conda and pip
If you want to use Magics only through Python you have now choices to install Magics with your favourite Python package manager. With the release of Magics 4.0.0 (Feb 2019), the Python interface is separated from the library. This allowed the packaging through pip and conda.
Using pip
When using pip it is required to have the Magics library installed on the system!
