Back to Downloading Odie
Odie is designed to work from within user space on Unix systems. That means, it can be compiled and installed completely within a user's account and should never require administrative rights for normal operations.
If you want to install odie in a systemwide location, I recommend /opt/local/odie.
This run-through will assume that you are cloning a fossil repository.
To install and build ODIE you will need the following:
| Windows | Fossil and MinGW/MSYS |
| Mac OSX | Fossil and Xcode |
| Linux and Unix | Fossil and the build tools required to make Tcl/Tk for your platform |
mkdir -p ~/odie/download cd ~/odie/download fossil clone http://fossil.etoyoc.com/fossil/odie odie.fos
We will then create a sandbox for the odie sources to unpack into
mkdir -p ~/odie/sandbox/odie cd ~/odie/sandbox/odie fossil open ~/odie/download/odie.fos
For most platforms installation is as simple as:
cd ~/odie/sandbox/odie configure --prefix=$HOME/odie make install
