Installation

If you want to build your own version, make sure you have gnuclad installed.

To install gnuclad, you can download the source at:

https://github.com/FabioLolix/gnuclad/archive/refs/tags/0.2.4.p1.tar.gz

or the original source at:

https://launchpad.net/gnuclad/trunk/0.2/+download/gnuclad-0.2.4.tar.gz

For Arch users, use the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnuclad/

After you have installed gnuclad, to build just the svg, run:

gnuclad bsdt.csv SVG bsdt.conf

You can run the script build.sh to build the SVG, PNG, and the tarball containing the source, ImageMagick is required to convert from SVG to PNG.
