# Installing ROBODoc

The easiest way to install ROBODoc is to use one of the packages. There are package for RedHat, Debian, OSX, and a precompiled executable for Windows.

You can also compile --- from the sources. On a system with `autoconfig` it is as simple as:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

This currently does not work with cygwin.

Under Windows you can use one of the makefile. There is a makefile for Borland C, MINGW, and Cygwin. For other compilers you might want to try `makefile.plain`.

For instance for cygwin goto `Source` and run:

    make -f makefile.mingw-cygwin

To install `ROBODoc` put the generated executable somewhere in your path.

You can test your executable, by going to the `Examples/PerlExample` directory in the archive, and running `robodoc`. This should create a directory called `Doc`. In there you should now find a file called `masterindex.html`.
