## Installation of Bogofilter

### Note

If you plan to change the version of your database library on an existing installation, or to change to a different database, read the warning at the top of the RELEASE.NOTES file.

Install Bogofilter by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr                \
                --sysconfdir=/etc/bogofilter \
                --with-database=sqlite3      &&
    make

To test the results, issue make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--with-database=sqlite3`: This switch makes Bogofilter use sqlite as the database, instead of Berkeley DB.

`--with-database={lmdb,qdbm,tokyocabinet}`: This switch also allows to use lmdb, qdbm, or tokyocabinet as the database.
