Installing From Source

After you've installed all of the dependencies, download the Clutter source code, unpack it, and change to the newly created directory. Clutter can be built and installed with the following sequence of commands:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

The configure script will check to make sure all of the required dependencies are already installed. If you are missing any dependencies it will exit and display an error.

By default, Clutter will be installed under the /usr/local directory.

If you want to help develop Clutter or experiment with new features, you can also install Clutter from SVN. Details are available at the Clutter web site.
