See the next section for system-wide installation. + +All you need for this variant is **perl** (v5.14.2 or newer), **carton** +(packaged for many operating systems), and **libxml2** with development headers +(packaged as `libxml2-dev` on Debian-based Linux distributions). + +After installing these, run the following command to install the remaining +dependencies: + +``` +carton install +``` + +You are now ready to use db-iris by providing Perl with the module paths +set up by carton and Travel::Status::DE::IRIS: + +``` +perl -Ilocal/lib/perl5 -Ilib bin/db-iris --version +``` + +For documentation, see `perldoc -F lib/Travel/Status/DE/IRIS.pm` and +`perldoc -F bin/db-iris`. + +System-Wide Installation +--- + +This will install db-iris and Travel::Status::DE::IRIS in system-wide +directories in `/usr/local`, allowing them to be used on the command line and +by Perl scripts without the need to specify search paths or module directories. +Building and installation is managed by the **Module::Build** perl module. + +For this variant, you must install Module::Build and all dependencies (see the +Dependencies section below) yourself. Many of them are packaged for Debian and +other Linux distributions. Run `perl Build.PL` to check dependency availability +-- if it complains about "ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES", install the +modules it mentions and run `perl Build.PL` again. Repeat this process until it +no longer complains about missing prerequisites. + +You are now ready to build and install the module. + +If you downloaded a release tarball, use the following commands: + +``` +perl Build.PL +./Build +sudo ./Build install +``` + +If you are working with the git version, use these instead: + +``` +perl Build.PL +./Build +./Build manifest +sudo ./Build install +``` + +You can now use Travel::Status::DE::IRIS and db-iris like any other perl +module. See `man Travel::Status::DE::IRIS` and `man db-iris` for documentation.
