On Linux, Unix, and *BSD environments, the recommended way to install Coin3D and SIM Voleon is the Autoconf/Automake build system.
Subversion access
Read access to the Coin3D and SIM Voleon Subversion repositories is available for those who want to follow the development closely and want a convenient mechanism for keeping synchronized with the sourcecode at all times.
Tutorials and how-tos
Tutorials and how-to articles can be found in different subsections of this website. Here you can find a list of all
Books
Programming with Coin3D should be treated exactly like programming with Open Inventor, so all Open Inventor documentation that exists also applies to Coin3D. Here is a list of books on programming with Open Inventor.
