1.5.1 Quick installation guide

If familiar with installing Unix software on our system, then all we need to know is that Vicare uses the standard installation method found in most other Unix software. Simply run the following commands from the shell:

$ tar -xvzf vicare-n.n.n.tar.gz
$ cd vicare-n.n.n
$ ./configure [--prefix=path] [CFLAGS=-I/dir] [LDFLAGS=-L/dir]
$ make
$ make install

After installation, under the directory $libexecdir/vicare-scheme, scripts with names like compile-all.sps can be executed to precompile the installed libraries; for example:

$ sudo vicare --compile-dependencies \
   /usr/local/libexec/vicare-scheme/compile-all.sps

To uninstall Vicare Scheme, use the following steps:

$ cd path/to/vicare-n.n.n
$ make uninstall
