Installing Binaries

If a prebuilt version of csnip is available for your system, downloading and installing that is the simplest way to get going.

Download

The binaries are on this on github. If a version packed specifically for your system is available, we recommend using that. Otherwise, the generic tarballs (.tar.gz files) file will work on many systems.

Installing from tarballs

We recommend using stow to install the package, since that simplifies tasks like uninstalling or upgrading. Very briefly, the steps are:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/stow
cd /usr/local/stow
sudo tar xzf /path/to/csnip-<VERSION>-bin.tar.gz
