INSTALL GLOBALLY (YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS)

(1) Open a command window, and decompress the downloaded file with following command:

> tar -xvf shape-it-1.0.1.tar.gz

This will create a folder called 'shape-it-1.0.1'. 

(2) You now need to configure and compile Shape-it. Run the following commands, one after the other:

> cd shape-it-1.0.1
> cmake CMakeLists.txt
> make

(3) If you have root permissions, you can install Shape-it globally. As root, run the following command:

> make install
> make clean
