Installing Nootka in Ubuntu 13.10

Nootka is included in Ubuntu’s repositories, to install the default version type sudo apt-get install nootka. For the latest version, you can compile and install it from source. To install this latest release in Ubuntu 13.10, follow the next steps, making sure you have the sources repositories enabled:

sudo apt-get build-dep nootka

Download the source tarball from here (direct link), then uncompress it:

tar -xjf nootka-0.9.6-rc2-source.tar.bz2

Change the current working directory to cd nootka-0.9.6-rc2-source, compile and install it:

Make sure to have $HOME/usr/bin included in your path, or just run it as $HOME/usr/bin/nootka. Alternatively, you can omit the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX switch and install it as root inside /usr/local/bin:

        mkdir -p build
        cd build
        cmake ..
        make
        sudo make install
