= Install

== The source distribution

Basically, you have the following four options:

Either (1) use setup.rb (long version):

$ ruby setup.rb config
$ ruby setup.rb setup
# ruby setup.rb install             # this might require root privilege

Or (short):

# ruby setup.rb                     # this might require root privilege

Or (2) if you have sh/bash (but this really is just a wrapper for the above):

$ chmod u+x configure               # when using the git repository
$ ./configure --help
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install                      # this might require root privilege

Or (3) build a gem and install it:

$ ruby bin/pre-setup.rb
$ gem build deplate.gemspec
# gem install deplate-VERSION.gem   # this might require root privilege

Or (4) add the bin directory to PATH:

$ export PATH=DEPLATE_DIRECTORY/bin:$PATH

Download the latest source-code from the sourceforge project site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/deplate/

The files in the "debian" sub-directory were contributed by Maxim Komar. You might want to adjust some paths.

== The ruby gem distribution

The gem file can be installed by running

$ gem install deplate-VERSION.gem       # might require root privilege

When installing from a gem file, it could be necessary to manually link/copy the deplate starter script in the GEMDIR/bin directory.

== The win-32 distribution

The win32 binary was created with exerb[1] and is supposed to work without ruby being installed. The binary is self-contained and doesn't rely on any extranous files. Just copy the binary into a directory in PATH.

The distribution directory contains some extra files in the rc directory, which you could copy to the respective sub-directories in ~/.deplate/.
