To install flawfinder:

* If you use an RPM-based system (e.g., Red Hat) or deb-based system
  (e.g., Debian), use their respective RPM or debian installation program
  and just install it; then ignore the rest of these instructions.


* Otherwise, install the "tarball" and uncompress it.
  GNU-based systems can run "tar xvzf flawfinder*.tar.gz" to do so,
  then "cd" into the directory created.

* If you're using Cygwin, change the file "makefile" so that the
  line beginning with "EXE=" reads as follows:
  EXE=.exe

* Otherwise, for Unix-like systems, you can globally install it using:
  make install

  (you need to be root; "make uninstall" reverses it).

* You can also simply run the program in the directory you've unpacked it
  into.   It's a simple Python program, just run:

  flawfinder files_or_directory
