Quick start
===========
In many cases, OpenPMIx can be built and installed by simply
indicating the installation directory on the command line:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tar xf pmix-<version>.tar.bz2
$ cd pmix-<version>
$ ./configure --prefix=<path> |& tee config.out
...lots of output...
$ make -j 8 |& tee make.out
...lots of output...
$ make install |& tee install.out
...lots of output...
Note that there are many, many configuration options to the
``./configure`` step. Some of them may be needed for your particular
environment; see below for descriptions of the options available.
If your installation prefix path is not writable by a regular user,
you may need to use ``sudo`` or ``su`` to run the ``make install``
step. For example:
.. code-block:: sh
$ sudo make install |& tee install.out
[sudo] password for builduser: <enter your password here>
...lots of output...
Finally, note that VPATH builds are fully supported. For example:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tar xf pmix-<version>.tar.bz2
$ cd pmix-<version>
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=<path> |& tee config.out
...etc.
