Jest is distributed as a tarball and installs using Python’s distutils. Because of that, you will need a Python interpreter and some way of unpacking tarballs. (Jest is also compatible with setuptools.)
To install it:
- Download the latest version from
http://download.gna.org/jest/?C=M;O=D - Unpack the tarball
- Install using distutils
Example
To install it from the command line, you might do:
#download
wget http://download.gna.org/jest/jest-version.tar.gz
#unpack
tar xzf jest-version.tar.gz
#install
cd jest-version
python setup.py install
This example uses wget to download it,
tar to unpack it, and cd to move into the
unpacked directory so that you can use distutils on it. Depending
on your operating system and installed programs, you may have to do
something a little different.
