3.1 Installation from release tarball

The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure --prefix=/opt/arte' to configure the package for your system. Running ‘configure’ might take a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. It is a good idea to always install ARTE in a completely independent path, like ‘/opt/arte’, as a complete layout of directories will be created when installing it.
  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
  3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation. Consider running the previous command as ‘root’ user if you chose a path where standard users can't write.
  4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the files that ‘configure’ created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.
  5. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed files again.
