In its simplest form, coNCePTuaL installation works by executing the following commands at the operating-system prompt:

./configure
make
make install

( configure is normally run as ./configure to force it to run from the current directory on the assumption that . is not in the executable search path.) We now describe those three installation steps in detail, listing a variety of customization options for each step.

• configure:    Create a customized Makefile for your system
• make:    Compile the coNCePTuaL run-time library
• make install:    Install coNCePTuaL in your system
