Arch Linux
----------
[Arch Linux](http://www.archlinux.org) is our distro of choice, and the distro we use for testing.

You can find a [PKGBUILD](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25972) on the AUR, which installs the latest
from the master branch. You can edit the PKGBUILD to change to any other
branch you want.

From source
-----------
	$ git clone git://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl.git
	[ $ git checkout master/experimental ] # master == fairly stable.  experimental is more bleeding edge
	$ cd uzbl
	$ make
	$ sudo make install

Dependencies
------------
* git (for downloading)
* pkgconfig (for Make/gcc)
* libwebkit 1.1.4 or higher
* libsoup 2.24 or higher (dep for webkit/gtk+)
* gtk 2 something something

Optional/Recommended
--------------------
The following tools are quite useful, and some of them are used in the
sample scripts:

* dmenu
* zenity
* bash 

File locations
--------------
After installing - using either method - you will find:

* /usr/bin : uzbl [and uzblctrl]
* /usr/share/uzbl/docs/ : documentation files included with uzbl. (readme, checklist, .. )
* /usr/share/uzbl/examples: sample scripts, config files and a sample data (boomarks, .. ) 

You will probably want to change the scripts to behave more like you want, so copy the scripts to your home dir. If you save your config as
$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/uzbl/config (this expands to ~/.config/uzbl/config on most systems) it will be recognized automatically. You can also pass the path to
the config file with the --config parameter.

You're free to store your personal stuff where you want, but we think the [XDG basedir spec](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html)
is very useful for keeping a clean home directory, so we recommend:

* $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/uzbl/config* (~/.config/uzbl/config on most systems): config file
* $XDG\_DATA\_HOME/uzbl (~/.local/share/uzbl on most systems): bookmarks file, history file. and "scripts" directory with scripts
