2 Installation

Installation of Lepton is pretty simple on many operating systems and distributions supporting pre-built binary packages. Just use your favorite package manager to install the package. For example, on Debian or Ubuntu, you could use synaptic, apt-get, or aptitude for installation. It doesn’t matter which interface you use, GUI or CLI. For instance:

sudo aptitude install lepton-eda

However, in some cases or on some systems you may want to install Lepton from source code. The order is as follows.

• Download the source code:
• Compile it and install:

  cd the-directory-with-lepton-eda
  autoreconf -ivf && ./configure && make && sudo make install
  

  Call for autoreconf is not needed if you download sources as a tarball of some version.

• In some cases, when, for example, a new library is installed, you may need to launch ldconfig as well:

  sudo ldconfig
