    yum install libconfig libconfig-devel -y
    ```

  * RHEL(>=8) or Centos(>=8) :

    ```

    ```
  * Debian or Ubuntu:

    apt-get libconfig libconfig-dev -y
    ```

  * openSUSE:
    ```
    # available in the Packman repository
    zypper install libconfig8 libconfig-devel
    ```

* On other platforms, you can compile libconfig from source: https://hyperrealm.github.io/libconfig/




## Instructions:

  ```
  wget https://hyperrealm.github.io/libconfig/dist/libconfig-1.8.2.tar.gz
  tar -zxf libconfig-1.8.2.tar.gz
  cd libconfig-1.8.2
  export MYPREFIX=/usr
  # or if you lack privileges for making system-wide changes:
  # export MYPREFIX=$HOME/local
  ./configure --prefix=$MYPREFIX
  make
  make install
  ```

* To install this module, run the following commands:
  ```
  perl Makefile.PL
  # or if you use a self-compiled libconfig as above:
  # perl Makefile.PL LIBS=-L$MYPREFIX/lib INC=-I$MYPREFIX/include
  make
  # If not using en_US system, you must set export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
  make test
  make install
  ```
