* Installation Instructions

  Installing guile-2d is rather easy (but not easy enough) if you are
  on a GNU/Linux system. Currently, only installation instructions for
  Debian are provided, but the non-apt commands should work without
  any modifications on any GNU/Linux distro.

  This installation guide assumes that you have the GNU build system
  (automake, autoconf, texinfo, pkg-config) and git installed.

** Install dependencies

      sudo apt-get install guile-2.0-dev
    #+END_SRC

    This assumes that the version of Debian you are running has Guile
    2.0.9.

    Check the versions available to you with =sudo apt-cache show guile-2.0-dev=.
