[[Category:SPO600 Labs- Retired]]{{Admon/lab|Purpose of this Lab|In this lab, you will do a baseline build of a software package.}}
== Lab 2 ==
# Download the source code for the software. (Do not install with dnf/yum!)
# Build the software. You may need to install build dependencies (e.g., compilers, tools, and libraries); you can do this (and only this) as the root user using dnf/yum. For example, if you need <code>cmake</code>, run the command <code>sudo dnf install cmake</code>, and if you need the library <code>ncurses</code>, then run the command <code>sudo dnf install ncurses-devel</code> (the <code>-devel</code> specification will cause dnf to install the header files as well as the library, so that you can build software that uses that library).
# Without installing the new software that you just build built (because that could override the existing and working version), test that it works.
# Blog your results. Explain (don't just document) each of the steps required to build your software and any dependencies you need to install. Include your reflections on the process.
