## Installation of paps

Install paps by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man &&
    make

To test the results, issue: src/test_libpaps > test.ps. View the output file in any available PostScript viewer and visually compare it to `doxygen-doc/html/example-output.png` in the source tree. The results of the output will be more robust with Dejavu fonts and some of the Chinese fonts and Japanese fonts.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install &&
    install -v -m755 -d                 /usr/share/doc/paps-0.6.8 &&
