2.2 Installation from Sources

It is recommended that you remove the previously installed version before installing a new version so that no unnecessary files are left on the disk. User data may stay, and they will be automatically converted into the new version, if needed.

  1. Untar the archive:
              bzip2 -cd chestnut-dialer-0.3.2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
         
  2. Go to the top-level directory:
              cd chestnut-dialer-0.3.2
         
  3. Configure the package:
              ./configure
         

    Note: Script configure can receive command line arguments. You can specify destination directory, disable unnecessary user interfaces, etc., using these arguments. You can get the complete list of options by typing ./configure --help.

  4. Build and install everything:
              make
              make install
         

    Note: You may need to run make install as root.
