Please download the toolkit code. Our suggestion is to always clone *stable* branch:
~~~
{}{}
git clone https://github.com/acado/acado.git -b stable ACADOtoolkit
~~~
We will refer to the ACADOtoolkit folder as <ACADO_ROOT>.

Go to ACADOtoolkit folder and create a build folder for an out-of-source build:
~~~
{}{}
cd ACADOtoolkit
mkdir build
cd build
~~~

Run CMake to generate makefiles and start the building process:
~~~
{}{}
cmake ..
make
~~~

Check whether the installation was successful by running an example:
~~~
{}{}
cd ..
cd examples/getting_started
./simple_ocp
~~~

Now you can proceed to the [documentation.html documentation] related page, where you can find out more about tutorials, source code documentation etc.

=== Additonal

In case you want to compile ACADO in debug mode, you can run CMake like this:
~~~
{}{}
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
~~~
