===== Installation from Tarball =====

To install an X2Go project from a provided tarball release, please use the following commands:

<code>
$ tar -vzcf <x2go-tarball_version.tar.gz> .
$ cd <x2go-tarball_version>
$ make && sudo make install
</code>

By default the $PREFIX for installation is /usr/local, so basically your (e.g.) X2Go Client application will be found in /usr/local/bin if the above command series finishes successfully.

<note important>Many code projects have an INSTALL file in their base project folder that contains extra instructions for the installation process.</note>

===== Uninstallation =====

<code>
$ cd </path/to>/<x2go-tarball_version>
$ sudo make uninstall
</code>

<note important>Many code projects have an UNINSTALL file in their base project folder that contains extra instructions for the uninstallation process.</note>
