This will create a directory called SAMsrcV3. Within that directory is a config directory. You may need to change Makefile.site to ensure that SAM can find the fftw3 libraries. By default, the binaries will be installed in the SAMsrcV3/bin directory, this can be changed by editing the config/Makefile.config file. Once you have made any necessary alterations, from the SAMsrcV3 directory, type

 make

If you have any problems installing SAMsrcV3, please contact MEG Core staff for assistance.
