Packages
Source code and binary packages are available here. Installing from
source is basically unpacking the tar file and using the command
"$ sudo make install". If you do not want to compile from source,
then install the binary package as explained below.

Source Code Tarballs
The following tar files contain a source program and build script (Makefile).
These conform to Debian rules. The procedure is explained below.

   libclutter-1.0-dev, libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev

The package names above are Debian and Ubuntu names.
Other Linux flavors have different names (happy hunting).
  
Installation Procedure:
  0.  Install the above dependencies using your package manager.
  1.  Download the program file using the link above.
  2.  Open a terminal window and enter the following commands:
  3.  $ cd Downloads                             # go to download folder
  4.  $ tar -xzf appname-N.N-source.tar.gz       # unpack the tar file
  5.  $ cd appname                               # go to unpacked files
  6.  $ make                                     # build the program
  7.  $ sudo make install                        # install program

Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. 
Install these using your package manager and repeat step 6.
 
Application files are installed at /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share, etc.
 
Uninstall appname:
  $ sudo find /usr/local -path "*appname*" -type l,f,d -delete

Binary Packages
These are distro-agnostic binary packages that should install on many
recent Linux releases. They contain the application binary executable
and some library files that may not keep ABI compatibility across the
different Linux distributions and releases. They have been tested on
recent releases of Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, and Manjaro (Arch relative).
The binary builds were done with Ubuntu-24.04.
