Hi, the [documentation of the CalculiX adapter for the preCICE Coupling library](https://www.precice.org/adapter-calculix-get-calculix.html) explains how to install dependencies and build CalculiX from source.  
You can omit the adapter-specific parts and simply run `make` inside the `src` folder to build `ccx`.

We are continuously improving the wiki, so the page may change in the future. Of course constructive feedback is always welcome.
