.TH INSTALL 1
.SH NAME
install \- notes about Plan 9 from User Space installation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B
cd \*9; ./INSTALL
.SH DESCRIPTION
To obtain the Plan 9 tree, use CVS
(see
.IR cvs (1))
or download a tar file from
.HR http://swtch.com/plan9port "" .
.PP
In the root of the tree, run
.BR ./INSTALL .
This script first uses
.IR make (1)
to build the Plan 9 build program
.IR mk (1)
if necessary.
It cleans all previously built object files and libraries out of the tree,
rebuilds and installs everything, and then cleans up.
.PP
There are a few files in tree which have the root
hard-coded in them.
After the build, 
.I INSTALL
edits these files to replace the string
.B /usr/local/plan9
with the name of the root of the current tree.
.PP
Finally,
.I INSTALL
builds an HTML version of the manual and installs it in
.BR \*9/man .
.PP
.I INSTALL
can safely be repeated to rebuild the system from scratch.
