-    Try to run one of the examples and compare the output.
-    How the output should look like is stated in the README
-    that can be found in the <code>EXAMPLES</code> directory.
+      First clone the <a href="https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng">ARPACK-NG</a>
+      repository. The following commands will set up an appropriate configuration:
+
+      <pre>
+        cd arpack-ng
+        mkdir build
+        cd build
+
+        cmake                                       \
+        -DEXAMPLES=ON                               \
+        -DMPI=ON                                    \
+        -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON                      \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$HOME/ARPACK-NG \
+        ../
+
+        make
+        make install
+      </pre>
+
+      You will need to adjust the path into which you want to install ARPACK-NG
+      in the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX line. If you do not have MPI installed you
+      should use <code>-DMPI=OFF</code> instead.
     </p>
 
+    <h3>Test the installation</h3>
