1. General System Requirements |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Since lite2do is a standalone script written in Perl 5, it should be mostly |
| 20 |
platform independent. However, working installation of Perl 5 is required |
| 21 |
in order to run the script; both 5.10.0 and 5.8.8 branches are known to |
| 22 |
work, but other versions might work as well. If you are using Unix-like |
| 23 |
operating system, it is highly probable that you have it already installed. |
| 24 |
If you are using Windows, you can download the latest distribution free of |
| 25 |
charge from <http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/>. |

2. Installing on Unix Systems |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
The easiest way to install lite2do on Unix operating system (e.g. Linux, |
| 31 |
various *BSD systems etc.) is to use the existing Makefile. As a root, get |
| 32 |
into the main directory of the lite2do source package and type: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
make install |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This will install the executable and the corresponding manual page to the |
| 37 |
predefined /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/man respectively. If these |
| 38 |
locations do not satisfy your needs, you can either edit the relevant part |
| 39 |
of the Makefile, or you can change the prefix directly on the command line: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
make prefix=/some/location install |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Similarly, typing |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
make uninstall |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
or, if you have previously changed the destination directory, |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
make prefix=/some/location uninstall |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
will completely remove all installed files. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
3. Installing on Windows |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
No special installation is required in order to run lite2do on Windows. In |
| 57 |
your favourite command line interpreter (e.g. cmd.exe), simply get into the |
| 58 |
main directory of the lite2do source package and type: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
perl lite2do [options] |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Try `perl lite2do --help' for more information about the usage. |
