A generic X.Y.Z release will always contain a source tarball file of name jaula-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 that can be downloaded from the project download page.

Dealing with the tarball implies the usual operations of uncompressing, compiling and installing the product which in a general case can be accomplished by the following command sequence:

$ tar xvjf jaula-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
$ cd jaula-X.Y.Z
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su # or any other command in order to gain root privileges
# make install

This will install the libraries, header files and example binaries and documentation under the default directories (which usually are /usr/lib, /usr/include, /usr/bin and /usr/share/doc respectively).

Specific installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL file located at the project source root.

Note

Please note the "j" option in the tar command instead of the more usual "z" option. This is due to the bz2 (Burrows-Wheeler) algorithm used for file compression instead of gz gzip which results in a smaller file. If your system is old (really old) and you experience problems uncompressing the tarball, you may try the "l" option instead of "j" or even replace the "j" option by the long "--bzip2" alternative.
