1Installing the Windows version
2==============================
3
4There really is no formal installation procedure.  MP3Info is a single
5executable that has no dependencies and uses no registry entries.
6If you want to make mp3info available from anywhere on your system,
7you can copy mp3info.exe to a directory in your system path.
8This command would do the trick:
9
10	copy mp3info.exe %SYSTEMROOT%
11
12

14Installing MP3info from source (UNIX)
15=====================================
16
17Unpack and decompress the archive file, then change the current working
18directory to the directory created by unpacking the archive.  The following
19two commands should accomplish this:
20
21	tar -xzvf mp3info-x.y.tgz
22	cd mp3info-x.y
23
24Next, edit the top of the Makefile and make any changes necessary to reflect
25your environment. The defaults are valid for Red Hat and Fedora Linux systems,
26but will probably work for many others.
27
28Next, run the following two commands.
29
30	make
31	make install 		(this command must be run by the root user)
32
33If you want to install just the console version use:
34
35	make mp3info
36	make install-mp3info    (this command must be run by the root user)
37
38If you want to install just the GTK version use:
39
40	make gmp3info
41	make install-gmp3info   (this command must be run by the root user)
42
43... and that's it. There should be a binary named mp3info and/or another named
44gmp3info in /usr/local/bin (or whatever you changed the 'prefix' variable to
45in the Makefile).

49Troubleshooting
50===============
51
52If 'make install' results in an error like the following:
53
54     install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/man/man1/mp3info.1': No such file or directory
55
56you probably need to go back and edit the 'manpath' setting in the Makefile.
57The manpath variable must reflect one of your system's repositories for manual
58pages -- specifically for section 1 manual pages (so specifying /foo/bar/man
59would not be sufficient -- you would need to specify /foo/bar/man/man1 or
60/foo/bar/man/sman1 or whatever reflects reality).
61
62If you have trouble determining where your system's man pages are stored, try
63examining your MANPATH environment variable or see man's own man page (i.e run
64'man 1 man').
65
66
67Installing the pre-compiled binaries
68====================================
69
70Run the following command as the root user.  Note that you must have the
71RedHat Package Manager (RPM) installed.  If you don't have RPM installed on
72your system, you can get it from the RedHat web site (www.redhat.com), but you
73will probably find it easier just to build from source code.
74
75	rpm -ivh mp3info-x.y-z.i386.rpm
76
77If you are upgrading from a previous version of MP3Info, use this command:
78
79	rpm -Uvh mp3info-x.y-z.i386.rpm
