@subsubheading Question 1.4
What to do with the tarball now?
@subsubheading Answer
Untar it via @samp{tar xvzf gnus.tar.gz} and do the common
@samp{./configure; make; make install} circle.
(under MS-Windows either get the Cygwin environment from
@uref{https://www.cygwin.com}
which allows you to do what's described above or unpack the
tarball with some packer (e.g., Winace)
and use the batch-file make.bat included in the tarball to install
Gnus.) If you don't want to (or aren't allowed to) install Gnus
system-wide, you can install it in your home directory and add the
following lines to your ~/.emacs:
@example
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/gnus/lisp")
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/gnus/texi/")
@end example
@noindent
Make sure that you don't have any Gnus related stuff
before this line, on MS Windows use something like
"C:/path/to/lisp" (yes, "/").
