+Using package managers
+**********************
+
+Package managers of many popular distributions provide pre-built packages of GHDL. This is the case for `apt` (Debian/Ubuntu), `dnf` (Fedora/CentOS) or `pacman` (Arch Linux). Since GHDL supports three different backends and two library sets (ieee or openieee), at least six packages with different features might be available in each package manager. See differences between backends in :ref:`BUILD`.
