		      EB-Lite Installation Guide

	EB-Lite consists of two parts - the core and the user
interface. At the time of writing (version alpha-11), only one user
interface is mature enough to be used as a principal UI. This is the Qt
interface, ebqt. In the future, there will be a variety of interfaces
available for different environments. One such interface, ebnc
(ncurses), is included in its current, incomplete, state as a taster
of things to come - take a peek in the ebnc/ directory.

	To use eb-lite, you must build both components. Each component
lives in a separate directory. The build process is roughly the same
for both:

$ cd core/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
Password:
# make install

	Likewise, replace "core" with "ebqt" above to build and install
ebqt. To start EB-Lite, you have two options:

* Just type "ebqt" into a terminal. When the window appears, click the
	"Launch" button, and away you go!

* If you want to be more adventurous, you can start the core separately.
	To do this, type "eb-lite" into a terminal. Then start ebqt
	and click the "Connect" button. The advantage of this approach is
	that you can close ebqt and still leave eb-lite running - you will
	be set as Away, and any messages you receive will be regugitated
	when you next connect.

	You must use this method if you wish to use ebnc. Once you have
	started the core, open a terminal in the directory in which you
	built ebnc, and type "./ebnc ~/.everybuddy/authcookie". For more
	details, see the file ebnc/README.
