# 5.21. Findutils-4.6.0

The Findutils package contains programs to find files. These programs are provided to recursively search through a directory tree and to create, maintain, and search a database (often faster than the recursive find, but unreliable if the database has not been recently updated).

Approximate build time: 0.3 SBU
Required disk space: 36 MB

## 5.21.1. Installation of Findutils

Prepare Findutils for compilation:

    ./configure --prefix=/tools

Compile the package:

    make

Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the Findutils test suite anyway, issue the following command:

    make check

Install the package:

    make install

Details on this package are located in Section 6.48.2, “Contents of Findutils.”
