Prodigal consists of only a single binary which contains everything you need. Prodigal runs from the command-line (i.e. terminal window in Linux or MacOSX, and at the DOS command line in Windows).

Installing from source using make

After you have uncompressed the source code, cd into the directory and do:

$ make install 

This will install the prodigal binary in /usr/local/bin. If you wish to put it somewhere else, you can override the INSTALLDIR variable in the makefile.

$ make install INSTALLDIR=/where/i/want/prodigal/

Compiling on Windows

To compile on Windows, you should use either Cygwin or MinGW. Once you have a terminal window with the basic commands like make, install, and gcc, follow the directions in [Installing from source using make](### Installing from source using make)
