## Installation of UDisks

Install UDisks by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr        \
                --sysconfdir=/etc    \
                --localstatedir=/var \
                --disable-static     &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check. A more thorough test can be run with make ci. You must first create the directories `/var/run/udisks2` and `/var/lib/udisks2`, and the optional python modules should be present.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-gtk-doc`: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
