This is the top-level readme for the C++ core of Bertini 2. Main repository online at github.com/bertiniteam/b2.

The C++ core is standalone compilable, so if you don't want to build the Python bindings, or you want to build an application against the C++ functionality, it's not so bad.

The library uses templates heavily, and is written to use the C++17 standard (most of the code is up to C++14, but there are a few 17 things in there).

For compilation instructions, see the Wiki compiling section on Github.
