Installing Example-Distribution should be straightforward.

Linux/BSD installation

If you are using Linux, BSD, or a similar operating system, and you are using the system copy of Perl (usually /usr/bin/perl), then the best way to install Example-Distribution is using your operating system's package management tools.

How to install software from the Linux command line

Installation using a CPAN client

cpanminus

If you have cpanm, you only need one line:

cpanm Example::Distribution

If you are installing into a system-wide directory, you may need to pass the "-S" flag to cpanm, which uses sudo to install the module:

cpanm -S Example::Distribution

The CPAN Shell

Alternatively, if your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do:

cpan Example::Distribution

Manual installation

As a last resort, you can manually install it. Download the tarball and unpack it.

Consult the file META.json for a list of pre-requisites. Install these first.

To build Example-Distribution:

perl Makefile.PL
make && make test

Then install it:

make install

If you are installing into a system-wide directory, you may need to run:

sudo make install
