Installing |project|
Currently, the |version| version of |project| can either be installed manually by compiling the source code or in binary forms using pre-generated packages. Depending on your needs you should chose one of these possibilities.
- Pre-generated packages
- For pre-generated packages a package maintainer has already preformed the work of compiling the software or providing the required instructions. Hence, the installation of |project| is a very simple operation. However, with this installation method you cannot modify |project| itself. This does not limit your ability to develop applications that use |project|! In case you just want to use |project|, chose this installation method.
- Compilation from source
- All software needs to be compiled manually using the build systems. You should choose this solution in case you want to develop on |project| itself, as the source code will remain under your complete control and you are in a good position to change it frequently.
