Installing fdupes -------------------------------------------------------------------- To install the program, issue the following commands: make fdupes su root make install This will install the program in /usr/local/bin. You may change this to a different location by editing the Makefile. Please refer to the Makefile for an explanation of compile-time options. If you're having trouble compiling, please take a look at the Makefile. UPGRADING NOTE: When upgrading from a version prior to 1.2, it should be noted that the default installation directory for the fdupes man page has changed from "/usr/man" to "/usr/local/man". If installing to the default location you should delete the old man page before proceeding. This file would be named "/usr/man/man1/fdupes.1". A test directory is included so that you may familiarise yourself with the way fdupes operates. You may test the program before installing it by issuing a command such as "./fdupes testdir" or "./fdupes -r testdir", just to name a couple of examples. Refer to the documentation for information on valid options.
