System Requirements
To install on Linux you'll need Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, or any distro that is recent enough. And to install on macOS you'll need to build Alusus from the source.
Alusus Installation
Simply install the downloaded package using your system's package management tool. On deb based systems:
$ sudo apt install ./alusus_<version>_amd64.deb
On rpm based systems:
$ sudo dnf install ./alusus-<version>.x86_64.rpm
Alusus packages install all files under
/opt/Alusus, and it installs sym links for the executables under /usr/local/bin.You can also download the zip file and extract it anywhere without needing the installation packages. You'll be able to run Alusus and APM from the Bin folder directly. You can add the Bin folder to your PATH to easily run Alusus from anywhere.
To install on macOS, you'll need to build Alusus from source. Once you build it you can install it anywhere in the system, and you can add the Bin folder to your PATH to easily run Alusus from anywhere.
Running
You can run Alusus programs as follows:
$ /opt/Alusus/Bin/alusus <Source Filename>
or using the sym links that the installatino package creates for you:
$ alusus <Source Filename>
