\chapter{Introduction}
This document describes how to install \emph{esys-Escript}\footnote{For the rest of the document we will drop the \emph{esys-}} on to your computer.
To learn how to use \esfinley please see the Cookbook, User's guide or the API documentation.
\esfinley is primarily developed on Linux desktop, SGI ICE and \macosx systems.
It can be installed in two ways:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Binary packages -- ready to run with no compilation required. These will hopefully be available in upcomming Debian and Ubuntu releases so just use your normal package manager (so you don't need this guide).
\item From source -- that is, it must be compiled for your machine.
This is the topic of this guide.
\end{enumerate}
See the site \url{https://answers.launchpad.net/escript-finley} for online help.
Chapter~\ref{chap:source} covers installing from source.
