Compiling nebula

Installing nebula is easy. Just follow the instructions on this page. First download the latest release from sourceforge:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/nebula/nebula-0.2.2.tar.bz2

Now unpack the archive and change into the extracted directory:

tar xjf nebula-0.2.2.tar.bz2 && cd nebula-0.2.2

Run the configure script to create a setup for your platform. If you want to install nebula in a specific location, use the --prefix switch as in the example below:

./configure --prefix=/opt/nebula

To finally build and install nebula type:

make && sudo make install

This installs the commands nebula and nebulaclient in /opt/nebula/bin/ (or the location you chose when invoking configure). Now check your setup by running nebula:

$ /opt/nebula/bin/nebula
