== 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.

There are different versions of the wxWidgets for different platforms. wxGTK is used for Linux, Solaris and BSD, wxMSW for Windows and wxMac for Mac OS X. Here we'll explain the compilation using wxGTK, but it differs only slightly for other toolkits.

Please see the specific articles for more detailed instructions.
*[[HowTo_compile_on_Mac|Compile aMule on Mac]]
*[[HowTo compile on Win32|Compile aMule on Windows]]

==== Step 1: [[wxWidgets]] ====

*Download [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] ->
**[http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.8.4.tar.bz2 wxGTK-2.8.4.tar.bz2]

*Compile [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]]
**''tar -jxvf wxGTK-2.8.4.tar.bz2''
**''cd wxGTK-2.8.4''
**''Linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK]2: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --enable-optimise && make
*As '''root''':
**''make install''
**''ldconfig''

===== [[wxBase]] =====

*Since [[wxGTK]] 2.5.x, you don't need [[wxBase]] anymore unless you want to compile [[aMuled|aMule daemon]] without X.
*To compile wxWidgets without a graphical User Interface, ''use the option --disable-gui''

==== 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''

====='''aMule 2.1.3 and wxWidgets 2.8.4'''=====
*In order to compile aMule 2.1.3 against wxWidgets 2.8.4, you need the [http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/SOURCES/aMule-wx.patch?rev=1.2 aMule-wx.patch]
*Apply the patch using ''patch -p1 < aMule-wx.patch'' before executing ''make''.

== 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''
