Installation of FFTW3 and linking it to compile a scientific code such as VASP5.2 seems to be difficult for newbies. However, it is very simple.
Go to FFTW3 download page (official website).
Download the package. Current version is fftw-3.3.8
Move the file to the specific directory, where you want to install (for example, ~/ScientificPackages)
Follow this procedure to intall.
Unpack the package using tar -xzvf fftw-3.3.8 (to know more on extracting, see this page)
./configure
make
make install
This will create two directories /lib and /include. These directories have necessary library files.
