  Extract the tar archive somewhere into your home directory and cd into the directory where you extracted it, for example:

  tar xzvf gpodder-2.15.tar.gz cd gpodder-2.15/ make install

  If you have any problems, please visit the gPodder website or mail the gPodder mailing list (see below for more information).

  ================================ Portable mode / roaming profiles

  You can set the environment variables GPODDER_HOME and GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR to point to locations for storing the database and downloaded files:

  GPODDER_HOME ........... location for configuration and database GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR ... location for downloaded episodes

  You can use this to have different configurations for gPodder or to put gPodder's data directly on your MP3 player or USB disk, for example:

  export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/ export GPODDER_DOWLOAD_DIR=/media/usbdisk/podcasts/ gpodder
