Well, different programs have different installations. Some have their |
| 10 |
own installers, others come as source. |
| 11 |
If there is an installer, you probably just have to run that installer. |
| 12 |
If it comes as source, there is a readme file included. Mostly you can try: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
configure (checks your system and sets the compile parameters) |
| 15 |
make (compiles the program) |
| 16 |
make install (installes the program, you should perhaps do this as root) |
