make check |
Install the package:
make install |
And optionally install the components belonging in a TeX installation:
make TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf install-tex |
The meaning of the make option:
TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf: The TEXMF makefile variable holds the location of the root of your TeX tree if, for example, you plan to install a TeX package later on.
