1. Installation from source:

    • Download and untar source.
    • Cd into the created directory.
    • Run:

      sudo make install or su -c "make install"


  2. Building and installing a Debian package (.deb):

    • Install the dh-make and fakeroot packages.
    • Download and untar source.
    • Cd into the created directory.
    • Run:

      fakeroot ./debian/rules binary

    • Cd up one directory level.
    • Install package:

      sudo dpkg -i podget_<version>_all.deb
          or
      su -c "dpkg -i podget-<version>_all.deb"


  3. Installing initial user configuration files:

    The first time you run podget, it will install the user configuration file (.podget/podgetrc) and a default serverlist (.podget/serverlist). It will then attempt to download 1 item from each of the default servers to be sure it has the necessary dependencies.


  4. Building man pages:

    For this project I used the txt2man translator to format the podget.man.txt file into the correct format. To build it, use the following command:

    txt2man -s 7 -p podget.man.txt > podget.7
