First extract the sly-1.0.0.tar.gz archive using GNU-tar and change into the extracted directory:
tar -xvzf sly-1.0.0.tar.gz cd sly-1.0.0
Default installation puts the scripts into /usr/local/bin/.
Install sly, sly-mate and sly-tidy as root:
make install
The installation destination can be changed using PREFIX:
make install PREFIX=/opt/sly
will install the
scripts into ${PREFIX}/bin/ ,
manpages into ${PREFIX}/man/man1/ and
example files at ${PREFIX}/share/sly/
PREFIX defaults to /usr/local
In the examples directory there will be a ptfilter.sed sample script to start with.
The extracted sources can be removed safely now.
cd .. && rm -r sly-1.0.0
make deinstall
will remove the scripts, manpages and example files. Be careful to use the same PREFIX as used at installation time.
