At the prompt, type:

$ ruby extconf.rb

This will create a Makefile for your system.

Next, type:

$ make

This will build the software for your system.

Finally, type:

$ make install

This will install the software on your system. The software consists of
crack.so, which is a shared object interface to LibCrack for checking password
security stength, plus password,rb, a higher level interface to this and
much more functionality.

If, for any reason, you wish to install the software elsewhere, you can
pass make(1) relevant arguments via environment variables:

$ make DESTDIR=/tmp install

If you would like documentation and you have Dave Thomas's rdtool installed,
type:

$ make docs

This will generate HTML and man page documentation in the doc/ subdir.

You should manually install the man page if you require it.
