Install
Quick install with Opam
You can install wcs-ocaml with the following command:
opam install wcs
This will install the three main packages:
wcs-lib,
wcs-api, and,
wcs
Install from source with Opam
Opam can also be used to compile and install from the source directory. For that you first need to pin the source directory. So, from this directory, do:
opam pin add wcs-lib .
opam pin add wcs-api .
opam pin add wcs .
Then you can install using the command:
opam install wcs
If the source files are modified, the packages must be reinstalled with the command:
opam reinstall wcs-lib

opam install ocamlfind sedlex menhir rml ...
