 ## Introduction
 
-A compiler cache speeds up compilation times by caching object files and reusing them on subsequent builds. This even works for complete rebuilds (i.e. deleting the full build-directory). A compiler cache is automatically used when it is found by CMake.
+A compiler cache speeds up compilation times by caching object files and reusing them on subsequent builds. This even works for complete rebuilds (i.e. deleting the full build-directory). The compiler cache [ccache](https://ccache.samba.org) is automatically used when it is found by CMake.

-For Linux and macOS you can use [ccache](https://ccache.samba.org). You may want to change the cache directory (environment variable `CCACHE_DIR`) or increase the cache size (`CCACHE_MAXSIZE`). See the [ccache docs](https://ccache.dev/manual/4.2.html#_configuration) for configuration instructions.
+Install it with your package manager, e.g.:
 
-You can check cache hits with `ccache -s`.
+```bash
+sudo apt install ccache
