<title>Installation of <application>XSane</application></title>
<para>Install <application>XSane</application> by running the following
commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install &amp;&amp;
ln -s /usr/bin/xsane /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/</command></userinput></screen>

<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><command>ln -s /usr/bin/xsane /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/</command>:
This creates a link in the system-wide
<application><acronym>GIMP</acronym></application>
<filename class='directory'>plug-ins</filename> directory so that users can
access <application>XSane</application> directly from
<application><acronym>GIMP</acronym></application>.
<application><acronym>GIMP</acronym></application> must be available before
building <application>XSane</application> for this to work. Alternatively,
create the link in <filename class='directory'>~/.gimp-2.0/plug-ins/</filename>
to provide individual user access. <command>man xsane</command> for
additional information.</para>

<sect2>
