NOTE: yed is known to work on most flavors of Linux, MacOS, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Build from source:

Requirements:

• C compiler supporting -std=gnu99

Grab the latest source code from www.github.com/kammerdienerb/yed

                $ git clone https://github.com/kammerdienerb/yed.git
            

Use the provided install.sh to build and install yed. Build/install options can be changed in install.options or by passing the following flags to install.sh:

• -c CONFIG -- specify the build configuration. (existing options are debug and release) release is the default.
• -p PREFIX -- the installation prefix path. By default, this is set to a reasonable system path like /usr.

Ex. Build and install a debug build to a test directory (if you just want to try it out):

                $ ./install.sh -c debug -p test
            

Ex. Build and install a user-local release build:

                $ ./install.sh -p ~/.local
            

Ex. Build and install a release build to your system:

                $ sudo ./install.sh
            

NOTE: if you installed yed to a non-default path, ensure that the directory containing the yed executable is in your PATH.

You should now be able to run yed!

                $ yed # test your installation
