==================
Basic System Setup
==================

We recommend installing some basic system-level development packages to minimize the
amount of packages that Spack will build.

The following pages provide basic guidance on the following platforms and is where you should
start:

* :ref:`Livermore Computing (LC) <setup_lc-label>`
* :ref:`macOS <setup_macos-label>`
* :ref:`Ubuntu 24 <setup_ubuntu-label>`

At the end of each Setup guide, it has a link to the page that shows you how to build
the minimal set of TPLs for Smith; followed by a page on how to build
Smith from the generated host-config file via CMake.
