.. highlight:: bash 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
