+[https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_home.html FITS] is the standard data format used in Astronomy.
+It is endorsed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union.
+
+GDAL provides basic support of FITS via the [https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fitsio.html CFITSIO] library (see the [http://gdal.org/frmt_various.html#FITS FITS driver documentation]).
+
+= Building with CFITSIO =
+
+== Linux ==
+
+=== From source ===
+
+* Install CFITSIO headers from your distro (eg,  cfitsio-devel on Fedora; libcfitsio-dev on Debian/Ubuntu)
+* Download the GDAL source in a gdal directory
+
+{{{
+    $ cd gdal/gdal
+
+    $ ./autogen.sh
+
+    $ ./configure
+
+    $ make -j8 -s
+
+    $ sudo make install
+}}}
+
+Your config.log will contain the following (depending on your distribution and install):
+
+{{{
+EXTRA_INCLUDES='-I/usr/include/cfitsio '
+
+LIBS='-lcrypto -lexpat -ljasper -ljpeg -lgeotiff -ltiff -lpng -lcfitsio -lz -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl  -lpcre'
+}}}
+
+=== From distro (tested on Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu) ===
+
+* Install CFITSIO headers from your distro (eg,  cfitsio-devel on Fedora; libcfitsio-dev on Debian/Ubuntu)
+* Install GDAL from your distro (eg gdal-libs on Fedora; libgdal on Debian/Ubuntu)
+
+CFITSIO is automatically detected and linked (sometimes a reboot is needed).
+
+==== NOTA BENE ====
+
+If you are interested in using GDAL in python be aware that some users report conflicts between the conda gdal installation and the compilation from source on linux.
+
+== Mac OS X ==
+
+GDAL installation on Mac OS X is described [https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnMac here].
+The [http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks#gdal_complete last version of the .dmg] is not linked against CFITSIO.
