== Installing [[aMule]] on [http://www.slackware.com Slackware] ==
----

1) Download [[wxBase]] and [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] sources (.tar.gz packages) from [http://www.amule-project.net http://www.amule-project.net] or [http://www.amule.org http://www.amule.org]
:'''NOTE''': you will need root access or equivalent to complete [[aMule]] install.

2) INSTALL:
:''tar -xzvf wxBase*''
:''cd wxBase*''
:''./configure''
:''make''
:''make install''

:''tar -xzvf wxGTK*''
:''cd wxGTK*''
:''./configure''
:''make''
:''make install''

:Grab pre-built [http://www.slackware.com Slackware] package from [http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_view.php?by=name&name=amule&ver= linuxpackages.net].

:'''IMPORTANT:''' You need to have installed [http://www.slackfiles.net/documentation/en/books/slackware-basics/html/pkgtools.html pkgtools] with [http://www.slackware.com Slackware] (this is done by default).

:''installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc5-i686-2.tgz'' (or whatever current version is)

:That's all!

:Type ''amule'' in a shell to lauch or in [http://www.kde.org KDE] (similar in [http://www.gnome.org GNOME]) go to Kstart->Internet->aMule

3) UNINSTALL:
:''removepkg aMule''
:Then if you want get a newer aMule*.tgz version as ''installpkg'' again.

Hope this helps.

== Final note ==
----

You can even get wxBase and wxGTK .tgz slack packages and install with 'installpkg'. Using the slackware package manager saves time during install and makes upgrading easy.
You can also type 'pkgtool' as root and then search for the packages you have downloaded and install and/or remove packages.

Enjoy the hard work [[aMule]] [[AMule_devs|developers]] have done and continue to do!

Just remember you will need [[wxBase]] and [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] installed even when using [http://www.slackware.com Slackware] package.
