Will it work on Linux?

Not sure yet

We couldn't spot a known setup. The README below is your best guide.

Your system

macOS Windows Linux

Before you start: Build and install

The exact package names for the compiler and libcurl development files depend on your operating system.

Dependencies

On Debian/Ubuntu systems, install the required build tools and libcurl development package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev

Compile, test, and install `httpdate`

make
make test
sudo make install

Check the installed version and command-line options:

/usr/local/sbin/httpdate -v
/usr/local/sbin/httpdate -h

3 steps on Linux

Download setup.sh

Then run bash setup.sh. It stops at the first error and is safe to run again. Servers and tests aren't started; it lists them at the end. Read it first.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/twekkel/httpdate.git
cd httpdate

2
Install the required tools
make
```
sudo apt install make
```

Follow the README: Build and install

In the maintainers' order. Do the README instructions above first — they cover steps outside the terminal.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev
make
make test
sudo make install
/usr/local/sbin/httpdate -v
/usr/local/sbin/httpdate -h
