  <title>Setting up <app>Accerciser</app></title>

    <p>
      Check if your distribution has <app>Accerciser</app> already packaged.
      If this is the case, you can install it via its package manager. Otherwise,
      you can follow the section below to install <app>Accerciser</app> manually.  
    </p>

    <section id="installing_accerciser_manually">
      <title>Installing <app>Accerciser</app> manually</title>
       <p>
        To install <app>Accerciser</app> manually, you will need to download it first. <app>Accerciser</app>'s
        source code can either be downloaded from <link href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/accerciser/">the gnome.org 
        FTP site</link> or cloned from <link href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/accerciser">the gnome.org GIT repository</link>.
      </p>

      <note style="caution">
        <p>
         If you are not using GNOME 3, you may find that <app>Accerciser</app> version 3 or later is not compatible with your
         environment.
       </p>
      </note>


      <p>
        After getting <app>Accerciser</app>, install it using the following commands:
      </p>
      <steps>
        <item><p><cmd>cd accerciser</cmd></p></item>
        <item><p><cmd>./autogen.sh # or ./configure for first time installation</cmd></p></item>
        <item><p><cmd>make</cmd></p></item>
        <item><p><cmd>sudo make install # or make install as root</cmd></p></item>
      </steps>
      <p>
        If you find any problems installing <app>Accerciser</app> on your system, it is likely that some 
        of its dependencies are missing. Check <link href="https://live.gnome.org/Accerciser/#Requirements">
        <app>Accerciser</app>'s wiki</link> to make sure you have all dependencies properly installed.
