## INSTALL - How to install                     Sun Jul 20 11:23:54 CEST 2003
## ==========================================================================
#
# For the impatient:

'mv' the dekagen executable to its installation directory.


## ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Dekagen is a bash script. It should work on all UNIX-like platforms.

1. Untar the distribution package:

	$ gunzip dekagen-1.0.tar.gz
	$ tar xf dekagen-1.0.tar


2. Change into the dekagen distribution directory:

	$ cd dekagen-1.0


3. No automatic installation is provided.

Be root. Then move the dekagen executable and the manual page to their
respective installation directories (e.g. /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/man/man1). Be sure you set the execution rights accordingly and the
files are owned by root or whoever owns binaries on your system. E.g.:

	# install -m 755 dekagen /usr/local/bin
	# install -m 644 dekagen.1.gz /usr/local/man/man1

After this, create a directory for the documentation files at an appropriate
place (e.g. /usr/doc/dekagen or /usr/share/doc/dekagen), and move all
documentation files into that folder. E.g.:

	# install -d -m 755 /usr/share/doc/dekagen
	# install -b -p -m 644 *[A-Z] /usr/share/doc/dekagen


## ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Dekagen is a front-end to several others programs.

Be sure you have already installed on your system:
1. cdda2wav, cdparanoia, dagrab, or tosha, for ripping from CD;
2. 8hz-mp3, bladeenc, l3enc, lame, mp3enc, or notlame, for conversion into
   MP3, or oggenc for conversion into Ogg-Vorbis;
3. optionally, xmcd for CDDB lookups and automatic naming;
4. and id3ed, id3tag, id3tool (v.1.2 or newer), or mp3info, for labelling the
   MP3 files with ID3 tags.

See the file README for details.
