Compilation and Installation
----------------------------
If you obtained a `source tarball`_ from the "Releases" section of the main
site just use the standard autotools commands::
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
To run the test suite, invoke::
$ make check
If the source has been checked out from a Git repository, the
./configure script has to be generated first. The easiest way is to
use autoreconf::
$ autoreconf -i
Documentation
-------------
Documentation is available at http://jansson.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
The documentation source is in the ``doc/`` subdirectory. To generate
HTML documentation, invoke::
$ make html
Then, point your browser to ``doc/_build/html/index.html``. Sphinx_
1.0 or newer is required to generate the documentation.
