<h1>Deployment</h1>
<h2>Pre-packaged releases</h2>
<p>
The libvirt API is now available in all major Linux distributions
so the simplest deployment approach is to use your distributions'
package management software to install the <code>libvirt</code>
module.
</p>
<h2>Self-built releases</h2>
<p>
libvirt uses GNU autotools for its build system, so deployment
follows the usual process of <code>configure; make ; make install</code>
</p>
<pre>
# ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
# make
# make install
</pre>
<h2>Built from CVS / GIT</h2>
<p>
When building from CVS it is necessary to generate the autotools
support files. This requires having <code>autoconf</code>,
<code>automake</code>, <code>libtool</code> and <code>intltool</code>
installed. The process can be automated with the <code>autogen.sh</code>
script.
</p>
<pre>
# ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
# make
# make install
</pre>
