# Detailed Installation Guide

## Simple install

To install sdm into /usr/local/sdm from the latest release use

```sh
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitbls/sdm/master/install-sdm | bash
```

## Flexible install

Alternatively, if you want to install a specific branch or use a directory other than /usr/local/sdm:
```sh
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitbls/sdm/master/install-sdm -o /path/to/install-sdm
chmod 755 /path/to/install-sdm
# Inspect the install-sdm script if desired
/path/to/install-sdm V13.12
```
NOTE: install-sdm can only install releases V13.12 and later. Use EZsdmInstaller for earlier releases.

## install-sdm command line documentation

Full command syntax:

```sh
sudo /path/to/install-sdm release-name install-directory repo-name saved-local-tarball
```
Where:

* `release-name` is the name of the release (e.g., V14.1). [Default: latest]
