To install GuitarTeX do the following:
make sure that LaTeX, Perl and Perl/TK are installed (see the Section called Requirements)
unpack the guitartex archive (for example in your home directory)
cd to the guitartex-x.x directory
run the following commands:
make conf (as normal user, this overwrites an existing config file!)
make install (as root)
You may now delete the guitartex-x.x directory
"make conf" copies the configuration file into ~/.guitartexrc. you may customize GuitarTeX by changing the configuration parameters explained below.
