2 Installing BWM Tools

Before you can use BWM Tools, you must make sure you have all the dependencies installed...


Next you need to download BWM Tools, compile it and install it.

Here is step-by-step instructions on how to do this...
  1. Download the latest version of BWM Tools, the latest version can be found on the project homepage: http://bwm-tools.pr.linuxrulz.org
  2. Uncompress the archive using either tar jxvf <archive name>.tar.bz2 or tar zxvf <archive name>.tar.gz depending weather its a .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz respectively.
  3. Run ./configure in the source directory. Optionally a --prefix=... parameter can be passed which will determine where BWM Tools will be installed.
  4. Once the configure process is complete, issue a make command, this will compile BWM Tools.
  5. When BWM Tools has finished compiling, type make install. This will by default install BWM Tools into /usr/local, unless of course if you specified a --prefix=... above.
