If you just want to have a go at Grilo as soon as possible this is
the right section for you.
</p>
<p>
This section gives basic instructions on how to download, build
and demo the development version of Grilo directly from the source
code repositories, as well as how to build programs that use
Grilo.

<pre class="programlisting">
# Building Grilo
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/grilo
$ cd grilo
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
# Building Grilo Plugins
$ cd ..
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/grilo-plugins
$ cd grilo-plugins
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
</pre>
<p>
You should now see the grilo libraries installed under /usr/lib and the
plugins for grilo installed under /usr/lib/grilo-x.y, where 'x.y' represents
the library version.

<p>After building and installing grilo and grilo-plugins, do:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
# Execute Grilo's test GUI
$ /usr/bin/grilo-test-ui
</pre>
<p>
This is a simple playground application that you can use to test
the framework and its plugins.
</p>
<p>
Notice that grilo-test-ui is optional and will not be built unless
you have the GTK+ development package installed on your system.
