'''Steps to Compile Source Code''':

# Obtain compressed file containing source code (usually a "zipped tarball")<br>eg. '''wget [ URL of zipped tarball ]'''

# Decompress zipped tarball. For example '''tar xzvf [ filename.tar.gz | filename.tgz ]'''<br> Note: You can compress (create archives) by using the tar command as well.<br>For example: '''tar czvf [ filename.tar.gz ] [ directories or files to archive ]'''

# Change to directory containing source code. You may need to run a script called '''./config''' (if present) to check for some dependency issues.
