# PANOPTES User Guide
The official guide for building an automated PANOPTES unit.
## **Hi! Welcome to the PANOPTES User Guide!**
{% hint style="info" %}
This guide covers how to install all the hardware and software necessary to run a PANOPTES unit. However because the hardware evolves and different groups have slightly different builds, the information contained in this guide might not necessarily apply to your specific build.
If anything is unclear or you have questions, please check our user forum at or email us at . We always want to hear from you about improvements, ideas, and corrections!
