For the full list of the installation options including the description of the flags to build the HepMC3 from the sources see at HepMC3 page at CERN GitLab.

A quick minimalistic build that requires only C++11 compiler and a recent version of cmake (3.15+) is described below.

Minimalistic build with CMake

To build HepMC3 is using CMake on the supported platforms, C++11 compiler and a recent cmake is needed (3.15).

The commands executed in the unpacked source tarball of HepMC3

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=desired_installation_path -DHEPMC3_ENABLE_ROOTIO=OFF   -DHEPMC3_ENABLE_PYTHON=OFF CMakeLists.txt
cmake --build .
cmake --install .

will configure the HepMC3 sources, compile them and install the library into "desired_installation_path".
