8. Installation and update

Fetching for first use can be done with a command, for example git clone https://github.com/overcq/oux.git. To build the project, it is required to have the “man” documentation installed in the operating system.

The user should make regular updates, e.g. with a command git pull && make, then as “root”: make install. Then follow the appropriate update and installation instructions for the products that depend on the current one. Before using this commands can be executed as “root”: make uninstall and/or as the user: make clean, to remove any remaining intermediate files that depend on source files that have been removed in the new product version.

To completely remove the product from the userʼs device, execute, for example, as “root”: make uninstall, then as the user: rm -fr oux.

“ui” test program

In order to build and run the test window program, you need to install additional packages on individual operating systems and build and install the “gui-srv-gtk” or “gui-srv-qt” program.
