31 <p>You have two options...
34 <p>Change the current working directory to a path of your choice and
38 <kbd>git clone https://github.com/cc65/cc65.git<br>
43 <p>This builds both the cc65 binaries (located in the 'bin'
44 subdirectory) and the cc65 libraries. Now cc65 is fully functional
45 without further steps.
47 <p>If you want to be able to run the cc65 binaries without providing
48 their path you may additionally enter <kbd>sudo make avail</kbd>.
49 This creates symbolic links to the binaries in '/usr/local/bin'.
55 <p>Install one of the pre-built packages for RPM based systems
56 (OpenSUSE) or DEB based systems (Debian) from the
57 <a href="http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Astrik&package=cc65">
58 openSUSE Build Service download page for cc65</a>.
63 <h2><a name="Windows">Microsoft Windows</a></h2>
65 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/cc65/files/cc65-snapshot-win64.zip">
66 current cc65 snapshot</a> and unzip it to a path of your choice that
67 <u>doesn't contain spaces</u> (let's presume 'c:\cc65' here). Now cc65
68 is fully functional without further steps.
70 <p>If you want to be able to run the cc65 binaries without providing their
71 path you may additionally add 'c:\cc65\bin' to your 'Path' environment
74 <p><u>Note:</u> If you have used cc65 before then you need to make sure
75 to remove all environment variables related to cc65 (like CC65_HOME).
