# Installing File-LibMagic
Installing File-LibMagic requires that you have the *libmagic.so* library and
the *magic.h* header file installed. Once those are installed, this module is
installed like any other Perl distributions.
## Installing libmagic
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev
On Mac you can use homebrew (http://brew.sh/):
brew install libmagic
## Installation with cpanm
If you have cpanm, you only need one line:
% cpanm File::LibMagic
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 File::LibMagic
## Installing with the CPAN shell
Alternatively, if your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do:
% cpan File::LibMagic
## Manual installation
As a last resort, you can manually install it. Download the tarball, untar it,
then build it:
% 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
## Specifying additional lib and include directories
On some systems, you may need to pass additional lib and include directories
to the Makefile.PL. You can do this with the `--lib` and `--include`
parameters:
perl Makefile.PL --lib /usr/local/include --include /usr/local/include
You can pass these parameters multiple times to specify more than one
location.
## Documentation
File-LibMagic documentation is available as POD.
You can run perldoc from a shell to read the documentation:
% perldoc File::LibMagic
