## Compiling Stockfish yourself from the sources
On Unix-like systems, it should be possible to compile Stockfish
directly from the source code with the included Makefile.
Stockfish has support for 32 or 64-bit CPUs, certain hardware
instructions, big-endian machines such as Power PC, and other platforms.

instruction, big-endian machines such as Power PC, and other platforms.

`src`. In general it is recommended to run `make help` to see a list of make
