# Installation

The objective of this tutorial was to show how to use Basemap, since the installation part is very well documented at the official docs.

In my case, I used Basemap in several Linux configurations.

- Using Ubuntu I used the Synaptic to install the library and its dependencies.

- Using an older Suse I used the source code

There is a blog post explaining all the options
