#Installing Alice's dependencies from the CPAN
Alice has a number of dependencies, all of which can be installed
from the CPAN. The simplest way to get these installed is with the
cpanm tool.
You'll need a working C compiler and make to install some of the
dependencies. If you are on OS X, this means the Dev Tools must be
installed.
Install cpanm by running
curl -L http://xrl.us/cpanm | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
Check out alice's git repository
git clone https://github.com/leedo/alice.git
cd alice
Install alice's dependencies into a self-contained directory
cpanm --sudo Module::Install local::lib
cpanm --local-lib extlib --installdeps --notest .
