=== Installing the dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
As usual with Perl programs, the testsuite ships with a +Makefile.PL+.
|
||||
This file specifies which Perl modules the testsuite depends on and can be used
|
||||
to install all of them.
|
||||
|
||||
Perl modules are distributed via CPAN, and there is the official, standard CPAN
|
||||
client, simply called +cpan+. It comes with every Perl installation and can be
|
||||
used to install the testsuite. Many users prefer to use the more modern
|
||||
+cpanminus+ instead, though (because it asks no questions and just works):
|
||||
|
||||
.Installing testsuite dependencies using cpanminus (preferred)
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
$ cd ~/i3/testcases
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install cpanminus
|
||||
$ sudo cpanm .
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|

If you don’t want to use cpanminus for some reason, the same works with cpan:

.Installing testsuite dependencies using cpan
|

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|

$ cd ~/i3/testcases
|
||||
$ sudo cpan .

|
||||
|
||||
In case you don’t have root permissions, you can also install into your home
|
||||
directory, see http://michael.stapelberg.de/cpan/
