Getting the CLEX 3 File Manager

The CLEX 3 branch is no longer developed, but bugs will be corrected. All users are encouraged to upgrade to CLEX 4 if possible.

Method 1: Downloading individual RPM packages

All RPMs are signed using this GPG key. The size of the RPM files is about 400 KB.

These packages were built on a Fedora system and were statically linked. Shared library libc is required at runtime though. The RPMs usually work well on all recent Fedora, Red Hat and CentOS distros. They probably run fine on many other rpm based Linux distros. See also the method 2 below for alternative repositories.

Method 2: Third party packages

CLEX software packages are also available from several external sources. Below is a list of external CLEX sources we know about. Maybe you will find the package you are looking for there.

Method 3: Compiling from sources

This is the way to install CLEX on any compatible 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 200 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-3.X.tar.gz (as root).
