Compilation and installation

Supported operation systems: Linux, BSD based and Mac OS X.

To compile you need to have installed Erlang, GNU make and GNU autotools on your system.

Version of Erlang should be no less then R14A.

Go to directory with netspire-core sources and execute the following commands:

autoconf
./configure --prefix=/opt/netspire
make
make install

You need to use gmake on BSD based system. Additional modules like netspire-iptraffic, netspire-postgresql and so on need to install in the same way, also use the same prefix as during netspire-core installation.
