===== Installation =====

==== From package ====

src2pkg is produced as a noarch package. Unlike most other packages however, there are post-install actions that must be completed manually if you are installing src2pkg for the first time.

Install the base noarch package through your usual package manager from the command line. Once installed, run the command: ''src2pkg --setup'' to setup src2pkg for use on your system. The ''--setup'' switch automatically compiles and installs a few small helper applications.

==== Rebuilding from source ====

Download the contents of the [[http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/amigolinux/download/src2pkg/src2pkg-2.2/|src2pkg-2.2 source directory]] and run the ''src2pkg.build-noarch'' script provided. This will rebuild all of the above listed package types.

If you're feeling brave, go ahead and add your own. src2pkg.build-noarch is just a bash script after all!
