Installing aubio
================
A number of distributions already include aubio. Check your favorite package
management system, or have a look at the `download page
<http://aubio.org/download>`_.
aubio uses `waf <https://waf.io/>`_ to configure, compile, and test the source.
A copy of ``waf`` is included along aubio, so all you need is a ``terminal``
and a recent ``python`` installed.
Source code
-----------
Check out the `download page <http://aubio.org/download>`_ for more options:
http://aubio.org/download.
The latest stable release can be found at http://aubio.org/pub/::
$ curl -O http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.1.tar.bz2
$ tar xf aubio-0.4.1.tar.bz2
$ cd aubio-0.4.1
The latest develop branch can be obtained with::
$ git clone git://git.aubio.org/git/aubio/ aubio-devel
$ cd aubio-devel
$ git fetch origin develop:develop
$ git checkout develop
Compiling
---------
To compile the C library, examples programs, and tests, run::
$ ./waf configure
Check out the available options using ``./waf configure --help | less``. Once
you are done with configuration, you can start building::
$ ./waf build
To install the freshly built C library and tools, simply run the following
command::
$ sudo ./waf install
Cleaning
--------
If you wish to uninstall the files installed by the ``install`` command, use
``uninstall``::
$ sudo ./waf uninstall
To clean the source directory, use the ``clean`` command::
$ ./waf clean
To also forget the options previously passed to the last ``./waf configure``
invocation, use the ``distclean`` command::
$ ./waf distclean
