# _libcamera_ for the Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi provides a fully featured pipeline handler and control algorithms
(IPAs, or "Image Processing Algorithms") to work with _libcamera_. Support is
included for all existing Raspberry Pi camera modules.
_libcamera_ for the Raspberry Pi allows users to:
1. Use their existing Raspberry Pi cameras.
1. Change the tuning of the image processing for their Raspberry Pi cameras.
1. Alter or amend the control algorithms (such as AGC/AEC, AWB or any others)
that control the sensor and ISP.
1. Implement their own custom control algorithms.
1. Supply new tunings and/or algorithms for completely new sensors.
## How to install and run _libcamera_ on the Raspberry Pi
Please follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/tree/master/linux/software/libcamera/README.md).
## Documentation
