#### A.1.1 Unix Installation

To build and install from the source tarball on Unix like systems:

         $ gunzip -c avrdude-5.8cvs.tar.gz | tar xf -
         $ cd avrdude-5.8cvs
         $ ./configure
         $ make
         $ su root -c 'make install'

The default location of the install is into `/usr/local` so you will need to be sure that `/usr/local/bin` is in your `PATH` environment variable.

If you do not have root access to your system, you can do the the following instead:

         $ gunzip -c avrdude-5.8cvs.tar.gz | tar xf -
         $ cd avrdude-5.8cvs
         $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
         $ make
         $ make install
