### 2.4 Installation from a source archive

First extract the archive to a sensible place:

    tar -xzvf lepton-eda-1.9.18.tar.gz &&
    cd lepton-eda-1.9.18

Run the configuration script. You’ll probably want to specify a custom directory to install Lepton EDA to, for example:

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/lepton

You can then compile Lepton:

    make

And install it (if you used a `--prefix` outside your `$HOME` directory, you may need to run this as root):

    make install
