Hi,
This is the Minuit2 fitter standalone edition, from the [ROOT] toolkit. It uses [CMake] 3.1+ to build.
For information about the Minuit2 fitter, please see the [documentation in ROOT][minuitdoc].
## Source
There are two ways to get Minuit2; you can checkout the [ROOT] source, then just build or use `add_subdirectory` with `<ROOT_SOURCE>/math/minuit2`, or you can get a Minuit2 source distribution which contains all the needed files to build with [CMake]. See [DEVELOP.md] for more information about extracting the source files from [ROOT].
## Building
To build, use the standard [CMake] procedure; on most systems, this looks like:
```bash
mkdir PATH_TO_MINIUT2_BUILD
cd PATH_TO_MINUIT2_BUILD
cmake PATH_TO_MINUIT2_SOURCE
cmake --build .
```
Of course, GUIs, IDEs, etc. that work with [CMake] will work with this package. The standard method of CMake building, with a build directory inside the Minuit2 source directory and using the makefile generator, would look like:
show original
If you have any issue building it please let me know
