Installing manually

Installing manually

If you prefer a manual installation, please use the following instructions:

$ git clone https://github.com/CJ-Systems/gitflow-cjs.git

Then, you can install git-flow, using:

$ sudo make install

By default, git-flow will be installed in /usr/local. To change the prefix where git-flow will be installed, simply specify it explicitly, using:

$ sudo make prefix=/opt/local install

This will install git-flow in /opt/local/bin

Post installation setup

git-flow depends on the availability of the command line utility getopt, which may not be available in your Unix/Linux environment.
Please use your favorite package manager to install getopt.
For Cygwin, install the util-linux package to get getopt.
If you use apt-get as your install manager, the package name is opt.
