To install Angerwhale, you'll need a few C libraries available. It's best to install these from your OS's package repository, but not a requirement: libxml2 (libxml2-dev on debian) expat (libexpat-dev) gd (libgd2-xpm-dev) htmltidy (libtidy-dev) Optionally: gpm3 (libgpm3-dev) Once you've installed that, run: perl Makefile.PL make installdeps make make test Then you can run Angerwhale via the scripts in the scripts/ directory. Installing it to your system will work, but is not recommended. (Too much clutter for my liking, anyway.)
