== Manual Installation ==

To install [[aMule]] you can either install it from scratch, as described in [[Compilation_Installation#Compiling From Sources|Compiling From Sources]], or use [http://www.rpm.org RPM]s, as described in the [[Compilation_Installation#Installing using RPMs|Installing using RPMs]] section. Using [http://www.rpm.org RPM]s will speed things up a lot but is not available by default with all [http://www.kernel.org linux] distributions.

== Compiling from Sources ==

'''WARNING:''' Make sure you have '''no''' copies of [[wxWidgets]] installed. If you already have [[wxWidgets]] installed, check [[How to uninstall wxWidgets]] before starting a new installation. If you continue have problems, then [[Check_if_wx_is_installed_twice|check if wx is installed twice]], since that's a common compilation and runtime problem.

'''NOTE:''' In [[wxWidgets]] >= 2.5.1, [[wxBase]] is not distributed as a separate tarball.

==== Step 1: [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] ====

*Download [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] ->
**[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.6.3.tar.bz2 wxGTK-2.6.3.tar.bz2]
**[ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.3/wxWidgets-2.6.3-Patch-2.tar.gz wxWidgets-2.6.3-Patch-2.tar.gz]

*Compile [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]]
**''tar -jxvf wxGTK-2.6.3.tar.bz2''
**''tar -C wxGTK-2.6.3 -xzvf wxWidgets-2.6.3-Patch-2.tar.gz ''
**''cd wxGTK-2.6.3''
**''Linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK]2: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise && make
*As '''root''':
**''make install''
**''ldconfig''

==== Step 2: [[wxBase]] ====

*Since [[wxGTK]] 2.5.x, you don't need [[wxBase]] anymore unless you want to compile [[aMuled|aMule daemon]] without X.

==== Step 3: [[aMule]] ====

*Download the latest [[aMule]] version ->
**[http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1296 Latest aMule]

*Compile [[aMule]] (please check the [[configure|configure article]]) ->
**''tar -zxvf aMule-X.X.X.tar.gz'' (replace X with the right version number..)
**''cd aMule-X.X.X''
**''./configure --disable-debug --enable-optimize && make''

*As '''root''':
**''make install''

*Run [[aMule]] as a regular user from console by typing -> ''amule''

== Installing using RPMs ==

==== Step 1: [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] ====

*Download [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] for your [http://www.kernel.org Linux] distribution ->
**[http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=12 wxGTK-2.6.3]

*Install [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] ->
**As '''root''':
***''rpm -Uvh wxGTK-2.6.3-X.rpm'' (replace X with the right name..)
***''ldconfig''

==== Step 2: [[aMule]] ====

*Download latest [[aMule]] version ->
**[http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1296 Latest aMule]

*Install [[aMule]] ->
**As '''root''':
***''rpm -Uvh aMule-X.rpm'' (replace X with the right name and version number..)

* Run [[aMule]] as a regular user from your console by typing -> ''amule''
