Downloading the Binaries

You can get the latest binaries for 64-bit Linux in the releases section.

When you have unpacked the latest release, just open a terminal, cd into the folder and type

$ sudo make install

Building Yourself

Building the tools should be fairly easy. The tool is, however, Linux specific.

If you are under Ubuntu, you can get the necessary tools by typing

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

For building and installing just type

$ make
$ sudo make install
