    <para>Install <application>Libgcrypt</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>Only <command>info</command> documentation is shipped in the package
    tarball. If you wish to build alternate formats of the documentation, you
    must have <xref linkend="tetex"/> installed (to build the PDF, PostScript
    and chunked HTML docs), then issue the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>make -C doc pdf ps html &amp;&amp;
makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/gcrypt_nochunks.html doc/gcrypt.texi &amp;&amp;
makeinfo --plaintext       -o doc/gcrypt.txt           doc/gcrypt.texi</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
    user:</para>
