Sauron is currently available as a source "tarball" as well as a RPM package (RPM package is made for RedHat Linux systems). Decide which version you want to use to install Sauron from and proceed to either the Section called Installing from the sources or the Section called Installing from the RPM.
First step, when installing from the source archive is to unpack the tar file into a directory and change current directory to that directory. This can be done as follows:
gunzip -c sauron-0.5.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd sauron-0.5.0
|
Next step is to install Sauron from the sources. By default Sauron program files will be installed under /usr/local/sauron, and configuration files under /usr/local/etc/sauron. If you want to install Sauron under some other directories you need to specify --prefix and --sysconfdir arguments when invoking configure script. To install Sauron under default directories issue following commands:
./configure
make
make docs
make install
|
To install (or update) Sauron from RPM package you can simply install the package as follows:
rpm -Uvh sauron-0.5.0-1.noarch.rpm
