    I am installing SOFA, I have a confusion. How to arrange sofa directories?
    First I have to clone into sofa. then in src folder i need to create a build folder and again in that folder i have to create v17.2 folder and clone again?
    Then what paths to specify in cmake as there are two srcs now.
    kindly guide me. I am stuck here

    Hi rubab,

    Here is the arrangement we advise:

    sofa
    build
        master
        v18.06
        my_branch
    src
        <sofa sources here>

    Thus in CMake, to build master branch, set source to “sofa/src” and build to “sofa/build/master”.

    Hope that helps,
    Guillaume.

    Thank you for replying. Then again in v18.06 folder ill clone again sofa?
    Actually I compile it and after everything run sofa.exe isnt generating..i guess this is the issue with directories and cloning.

    First step is
    1. Cloning into sofa v18
    2. Arrange directories sofa then inside sofa two folders src and build
    4
    3. In build folder create master and v17 folder.. in v17 should i again clone this time into v17.12???? This is realy confusing on website two clonings are mentioned.

    5. Cmake master to build and src for source code

    But step 4 is very confusing if you please give me more insight on it.

    I just update the documentation to make it clear. You have to clone SOFA only ONE TIME. The build folder is for the build. Nothing should be cloned there.

    Read carefully the steps: https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/linux/

    hey @rubab

    If you don’t feel confident in the compilation, try the binary version first!
    Best
