Basic Installation
------------------
# Basic Installation
Briefly, these shell commands will unpack, build and install Timewarrior:
$ tar xzf timew-X.Y.Z.tar.gz [1]
$ cd timew-X.Y.Z [2]
$ cmake . [3]
$ make [4]
$ sudo make install [5]
$ cd .. ; rm -r timew-X.Y.Z [6]
$ tar xzf timew-X.Y.Z.tar.gz [1]
$ cd timew-X.Y.Z [2]
$ cmake . [3]
$ make [4]
$ sudo make install [5]
$ cd .. ; rm -r timew-X.Y.Z [6]
These commands are explained below:
1. Unpacks the source tarball. This creates the directory timew-X.Y.Z,
containing all the code.

Cygwin
If 'make install' fails when writing to the /usr/local/share/ directory,
this may be because your current login doesn't have permission to write
to the Windows directory containing your Cygwin installation. Either
login to Windows as an Administrator and try the 'make install' process
again, or reinstall Cygwin under your normal Windows login.

Troubleshooting

# Troubleshooting
If you've recently made changes to dependencies (by reinstalling them, for
example) be sure to rerun 'cmake .' before trying to execute 'make' again.
If you've recently made changes to dependencies (by reinstalling them, for example) be sure to rerun `cmake .` before trying to execute `make` again.
CMake will run and locate all the necessary pieces for the build, and create
a Makefile. There may be errors and warnings when running CMake, or there
may be compiler errors and warnings when running 'make'. Sometimes you will run
CMake with no reported problems, and the build will fail later. This is
almost always because CMake is mistaken about some assumption.
