Getting the CLEX File Manager

Method 1: Downloading Linux RPM packages

All our RPMs are signed using this GPG key. RPM file sizes are between 100 and 150 KB.

Stable version 4.6.patch5

These packages were built on Fedora 14 and tested on Fedora 12.

These are RHEL/CentOS 5 packages.

Method 2: Compiling from sources

This is the way to install CLEX on any compatible Unix or Unix-like system. An ANSI/ISO C compiler is necessary to compile CLEX from the source code. You will also need the ncurses library which is part of most (if not all) system distributions.

Download the source (file size is about 240 kilobytes) and unpack it. Run ./configure and then make. Finally run make install as root. Read the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.

In case you want to build an RPM package, the spec file is already included. All you need is rpmbuild -tb clex-4.X.Y.tar.gz (as root).
