 3. Now when you launch bitsandbytes with these environment variables, the PyTorch CUDA version is overridden by the new CUDA version (in this example, version 11.7) and a different bitsandbytes library is loaded.

+Like CUDA, you can compile bitsandbytes from source for Linux and Windows systems. Installing from source allows for more build options with different CMake configurations.

+<hfoption id="Linux">
+
+To compile from source, you need CMake >= **3.22.1** and Python >= **3.8** installed. Make sure you have a compiler installed to compile C++ (gcc, make, headers, etc.). For example, to install a compiler and CMake on Ubuntu:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install -y build-essential cmake
+```
+
+We recommend installing **GCC >= 11** and have at least **GCC >= 6**.
+
+Now to install the bitsandbytes package from source, run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone --branch multi-backend-refactor https://github.com/TimDettmers/bitsandbytes.git && cd bitsandbytes/
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+pip install intel_extension_for_pytorch
+cmake -DCOMPUTE_BACKEND=cpu -S .
+make
+pip install .
