18.4.0 released Sep 25, 2023

Building Vely 18.4.0 from source for ubuntu_20

Note: when you install from source, you lose the benefits of packagers, such as easy update and uninstall. Follow these steps to install from source:

  1. Get the source code from git repository, and install build dependencies:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git
git clone https://github.com/velydev/vely.git
cd vely
git checkout 18.4.0
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install devscripts equivs
mk-build-deps -i -t "apt-get -y --no-install-recommends" -s sudo debian/control


  2. Make and install Vely (set DI to 1 to include debugging info - leave it as 0 for production purposes):

    make clean
make DI=0
sudo make install

  3. Install runtime tool dependencies - these are useful for running examples and tutorials, debugging and scripting:

    sudo apt -y install tar curl libfcgi-bin
Done!

When you want to get the source code of a newer version, execute "git pull origin master" from the command line, and then run step #2 above to rebuild Vely.
