4.1. Installing a prebuilt copy
Recoll binary installations are always linked statically to the xapian
libraries, and have no other dependencies. You will only have to check or
install supporting applications for the file types that you want to index
beyond text, html and mail files.
4.1.1. Installing through a package system
If you use a BSD-type port system or a prebuilt package (RPM or other),
just follow the usual procedure, and maybe have a look at the
configuration section (but this may not be necessary for a quick test with
default parameters).
4.1.2. Installing a prebuilt Recoll
The unpackaged binary versions are just compressed tar files of a build
tree, where only the useful parts were kept (executables and sample
configuration).
The executable binary files are built with a static link to libxapian and
libiconv, to make installation easier (no dependencies). However, this
also means that you cannot change the versions which are used.
After extracting the tar file, you can proceed with installation as if you
had built the package from source.
The binary trees are built for installation to /usr/local.
