Install Software From Source

First, make sure that you have the necessary development tools installed:
Debian-based:
sudo apt install build-essential checkinstall libcurl-devel
RHEL-based:
sudo dnf group install -y "Development tools"

Next, extract the archive:
tar -xzvpf example.tar.gz

Navigate into the extracted folder:
cd example/

If there is no ./configure file available yet (for example you’ve downloaded from Git), create one.
If there is an autogen.sh file present:
autogen.sh
If there is not an autogen.sh file:
make configure

Run the configuration script, in this example installing the binary file in /usr/local:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Compile the source code and then installs:
sudo make install

Check that the program is installed:
/usr/local/bin/example --version

Note: as a newer alternative, Ubuntu has replaced make install with checkinstall.  Look here for more info:
