-`make && sudo make install`

+We recommended downloading a versioned tarball from the relases page on
33 
+GitHub.  Download and untar the archive:
34 
+
35 
+    tar xf light-x.yy.tar.gz
36 
+    cd light-x.yy/
37 
+    ./configure && make
38 
+    sudo make install
39 
+
40 
+However, should you want to try the latest GitHub source you first need
41 
+to clone the repository and run the `autogen.sh` script.  This requires
42 
+`automake` and `autoconf` to be installed on your system.
43 
+
44 
+    ./autogen.sh
45 
+    ./configure && make
46 
+    sudo make install
47 
+
48 
+The `configure` script and `Makefile.in` files are not part of GIT
49 
+because they are generated at release time with `make release`.
