## Compiling from source

Download the source tarball from the MPD home page and unpack it:

    tar xjf mpd-version.tar.bz
    cd mpd-version

Make sure that all the required libraries and build tools are installed. The `INSTALL` file has a list.

Now configure the source tree:

    ./configure

The `--help` argument shows a list of compile-time options. When everything is ready and configured, compile:

    make

And install:

    make install
