Typically, the installation requires {{super-user}} privileges.
From the top level OpenLDAP source directory, type:
> su root -c 'make install'
+and enter the appropriate password when requested.

You should examine the output of this command carefully to make sure
everything is installed correctly. You will find the configuration files
for {{slapd}}(8) in {{F:/usr/local/etc/openldap}} by default. See the
