\015\012\015\012h3. Developer version\015\012\015\012If you like you can clone the Mercurial repository and install the latest developer version as followed:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake [options]\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012The installer will copy the files to following XDG default path: (see: rake help)\015\012\015\012| Binaries | /usr/bin |\015\012| Config | /etc/xdg/subtle |\015\012| Extension | (Ruby Dir)/subtle |\015\012\015\012The paths can be easily changed (see: rake help) and are printed after configuring is done. subtle will create cache files to keep track of the settings, whenever you need to change a path later you need to delete the old caches with rake clobber.\015\012\015\012h2. Debug\015\012\015\012To enable debugging messages and levels, subtle must be compiled with debugging support. Since there is usually no debugging package available, it needs to be compiled manually:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake debug=yes\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012subtle can be run directly from the source directory and there is no need to install it system wide, just add it to e.g. your ~/.xinitrc.\015\012¶
