INSTALL

# Install trashy

There are several ways to install trashy:

## Autotools

If you downloaded an official release of trashy, then on most POSIX systems, you can do this:

```
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
```

If you have obtained the source code for trashy from its Git repository, then you have to generate the Autotools files first:

```
$ autoreconf --install
$ automake
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
```

### Packagers

If you are packaging trashy for distribution, you probably want to do this:

```
$ make dist
```

That generates a tar.gz of only the necessary files for building and installing.
You can use that tarball to create a package for your distribution or port tree.


## Generic

A generic install script is provided, but it requires some adaptation.
You must define the VERSION and BASKET variables in the script (GNU Autotools usually does that), and you must gather ``trashy``,``trashy.8``,and ``install.sh`` in the same directory for it to be able to run to completion.


## Manual

If that fails, you can manually install.
You must define the VERSION and BASKET variables in the script (GNU Autotools usually does that).
Then just copy the ``trashy`` script into your PATH, such as ``~/bin`` or ``/usr/local/bin``, or whatever you have available to you.


## Slackware

On Slackware Linux, use the SlackBuild script included with the trashy source code.

```
$ su -
# ./trashy.SlackBuild
```

## RPM

If you use a distribution that uses RPMs, a package may be available
at http://klaatu.fedorapeople.org/trashy


### Manual RPM

If not, build an RPM from the trashy.spec file included with the
trashy source code. First, install the toolchain:

```
# dnf install rpmdevtools
```

Set up the RPM environment:

```
$ pmdev-setuptree
```

Copy the SPEC file into your tree:

```
$ cp path/to/trashy.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
```

Create a distribution package (.tar.gz) using ``make dist`` and then place that into your tree:

```
$ cp path/to/trashy-x.y.z.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
```

Build:

```
$ rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/trashy.spec
```

Install:

```
$ sudo dnf install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/trash*rpm
```
