#
# INSTALLATION
#

Sidef can be installed automatically from the CPAN (https://metacpan.org/release/Sidef), by invoking the following command:

$ cpan Sidef


If the cpan command is not available, try:

$ perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->install(q{Sidef})"


To install Sidef manually, download the latest version, unzip it and follow the installation steps:

$ perl Build.PL
$ ./Build installdeps
$ ./Build install


If Module::Build is not installed, try:

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make test
$ make install


If the installation succeeded, you should be able to run the sidef command:

$ sidef -h
