<title>Installation of 
<application><acronym>NASM</acronym></application></title>

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

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make -C rdoff/doc &amp;&amp;
make -C rdoff/doc html</command></userinput></screen>

<para>To build the base <application><acronym>NASM</acronym></application> 
documentation, ensure you have Ghostscript installed and issue:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>make doc</command></userinput></screen>

<para>To build the <acronym>RDOFF</acronym> Postscript documentation, 
ensure you have <xref linkend="tex"/> installed and issue:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>sed -i -e "s/dvips \$&lt;/&amp; -o rdoff.ps/" rdoff/doc/Makefile &amp;&amp;
make -C rdoff/doc ps</command></userinput></screen>

<para>To build the <acronym>RDOFF</acronym> <acronym>PDF</acronym> 
documentation, ensure you have Ghostscript installed and issue:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>make -C rdoff/doc pdf</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install &amp;&amp;
make install_rdf &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 rdoff/doc/rdoff.info /usr/share/info &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/nasm/html &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 rdoff/doc/v1-v2.txt /usr/share/doc/nasm &amp;&amp;
cp -v -R rdoff/doc/rdoff /usr/share/doc/nasm/html</command></userinput></screen>

<para>If you built the Ghostscript generated documentation, install it using 
the following commands as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install_doc &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 rdoff/doc/rdoff.pdf /usr/share/doc/nasm</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Lastly, if you built the <acronym>RDOFF</acronym> Postscript 
documentation, install it using the following command as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>install -v -m644 rdoff/doc/rdoff.ps /usr/share/doc/nasm</command></userinput></screen>
