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

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

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-print \
    --without-libjpeg --without-libtiff &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

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

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.2.6 &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 docs/{Wilber*,keybindings.txt,quick_reference.ps} \
    /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.2.6</command></userinput></screen>

<para>The <filename>gimp-help</filename> tarball contains a help system 
designed for use with the internal <application>GIMP</application> help 
browser, external web browsers and HTML renderers. If you downloaded the
<filename>gimp-help</filename> tarball, change directories out of the 
<application>GIMP</application> source tree to the root of your build 
directory. Then, unpack the <filename>gimp-help</filename> tarball and 
change directories to the root of the newly created source tree (as an 
unprivileged user). Issue the following commands to install the help 
files:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>./configure &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

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

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install</command></userinput></screen>
