# TinyOWS Installation

## Requires

TinyOWS need following libraries/applications:

  - LibXML2 (2.8 version or later)

  - PostGIS (1.5.x version or later)

  - PostgreSQL (with libpq headers)

  - A working Web Server with cgi-bin support

  - Fast-CGI is recommended

### Installing from a stable source release

An example of a typical download, configure, make, make install:

>     $ wget http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/tinyows-1.1.0.tar.bz2
>     $ tar xvjf tinyows-1.1.0.tar.bz2
>     $ cd mapserver-tinyows
>     $ ./configure
>     $ make
>     $ sudo make install
>     $ sudo make install-demo

Then copy the `tinyows` binary to your cgi-bin directory.

### Installing the Current Trunk from GIT

To build from GitHub, you must first install the `autoconf` utility, and git application .

>     $ git clone git://github.com/mapserver/tinyows.git
>     $ cd tinyows
>     $ autoconf
>     $ ./configure
>     $ make
>     $ sudo make install
>     $ sudo make install-demo

Then copy the `tinyows` binary to your cgi-bin directory.

### Installing from source on Windows (oldies so dunno if still up to date)
