A.1.1 Unix Installation

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

$ gunzip -c avrdude-6.3.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd avrdude-6.3
$ ./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 following instead:

$ gunzip -c avrdude-6.3.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd avrdude-6.3
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
$ make
$ make install
