### 8.4 Installation of lepton-attrib

To install `lepton-attrib` from sources, just install Lepton EDA. See Installation.

Installation of `lepton-attrib` can be disabled with the option `--disable-attrib` on the `configure` stage:

    autoreconf -ivf && ./configure --disable-attrib && make
    sudo make install

Currently, `lepton-attrib` depends on the third-party library `gtkextra` which has to be installed on your system. On some systems you also need to install development packages containing C header files necessary for compilation. For example, on Debian, you would need `libgtkextra-dev`.

If you want to try new GTK3 interface, you have to install another library, `gtksheet`: https://github.com/fpaquet/gtksheet. Then use the `--with-gtk3` for `configure`:

    autoreconf -ivf && ./configure --with-gtk3 && make
    sudo make install

If you install Lepton from sources to a place not known for your system dynamic linker, you may need to set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to get it to work.

For example, if you use `csh`, do:

    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/user/lepton/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For `bash` and the like shells:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/lepton/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
