- You all Suck ASS....Bayler Owns you....No Nerds...Suck it Biatch....Go jack off with a handfull of fishhooks!
+ ====== Installing Thunar ======
  
- Bayler Owns you again!
+ This page contains information about how to install Thunar on your system. Thunar can be installed in various ways, depending on whether there is a binary package available for your system. Check if you are using one of the distributions listed in the [[documentation:installation#binary_packages|Binary packages]] section below and follow the installation instructions on the distribution specific page. If your distribution is not listed below, there may still be binary packages available, but the packager simply did not add the instructions to this wiki yet. If so, please ask the packager to add instructions to the wiki.
  
- You can Find me a www.g00ns.net
+ If no binary packages are available for your system, or you don't want to use them for  whatever reason, you can install Thunar (and it's dependencies) from source tarballs, or from an SVN snapshot. See the section [[documentation:installation#installing_from_source|Installing from source]] below.
  
- hmmm love this delete button
+ ===== Binary packages =====
  
+ Binary packages of Thunar are available for the following systems. Click on the link to see the installation instructions.
  
+   * [[documentation:installation_debian|Debian/Ubuntu]]
+   * [[documentation:installation_suse|SUSE]]
+ 
+ ===== Installing from source =====
+ 
+ When installing Thunar from source, you can either install from a release tarball, or from a SVN snapshot. Note that you don't need to install ''libexo'' and ''xfce4-dev-tools'' as described below, if your distribution probably already offers binary packages for them.
+ 
+ ==== Installing from a source tarball ====
+ If you want to install from a release tarball, you'll need to fetch the tarballs from the [[http://thunar.xfce.org/download.html|Download page]] first (be sure to also download the ''libexo'' tarball). Next, extract the downloaded tarballs:
+ <code bash>
+ tar xzf libexo-VERSION.tar.gz
+ tar xzf Thunar-VERSION.tar.gz
+ </code>
+ You'll need to install ''libexo'' first. For example, let's say you want to install to ''/usr/local'', you'd use the following commands:
+ <code bash>
+ cd libexo-VERSION
+ ./configure --prefix="/usr/local"
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+ </code>
+ The last step - ''make install'' - must be run as root when installing to a system location, hence the ''sudo'' prefix. You may also use ''su -c "make install"''.
+ 
+ Now you can install Thunar using the following commands:
+ <code bash>
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
+ cd Thunar-VERSION
+ ./configure --prefix="/usr/local"
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+ </code>
+ The first line is important, because the ''$PKG_CONFIG_PATH'' environment variable must be set properly, otherwise Thunar is unable to locate libexo on your system.
+ 
+ If everything went well, you should be able to launch Thunar now using the command ''Thunar'' (or selecting **Thunar File Manager** from the menu). Be sure to have ''/usr/local/bin'' in your ''$PATH''.
+ 
+ ==== Installing the latest version from SVN ====
+ You can also choose to install the latest development version from the [[http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/|Xfce SVN Repository]]. But be aware that development versions aren't garantied to be stable, so if unsure, install from a release tarball as described above. When installing from a SVN snapshot, you'll need ''libexo'' and ''Thunar'' source code as described above, and in addition, you'll need the [[http://www.foo-projects.org/~benny/projects/xfce4-dev-tools/|Xfce Developer Tools]].
+ 
+ First you'll need to check out and install the developer tools:
+ <code bash>
+ svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfce4-dev-tools/trunk xfce4-dev-tools
+ cd xfce4-dev-tools
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix="/usr/local"
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+ </code>
+ 
+ Next, you'll need to install the extension library:
+ <code bash>
+ svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/libexo/trunk libexo
+ cd libexo
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix="/usr/local"
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+ </code>
+ 
+ And finally you can checkout and install Thunar:
+ <code bash>
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
+ svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/thunar/trunk Thunar
+ cd Thunar
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix="/usr/local"
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+ </code>
+ See the note about the ''$PKG_CONFIG_PATH'' environment variable in the tarball installation instructions above.
+ 
+ If everything went well, you should be able to launch Thunar now using the command ''Thunar'' (or selecting **Thunar File Manager** from the menu). Be sure to have ''/usr/local/bin'' in your ''$PATH''.
+ 
+ Additional information can be found on the [[documentation:svn_access|Subversion access]] page.
