Follow this procedure in order to install the ROHC library on a UNIX-style OS such as Linux, or even Microsoft Windows.

There are several ways to install the ROHC library on your system:

• If you are running Debian Linux, a package is available (not up to date).
• If you are running Gentoo Linux, an ebuild is available (not up to date).
• If you are running Arch Linux, a package is available (not up to date).
• If your are running another system, you need to build and install the library from sources.

Once the ROHC library is installed, you may:

• generate compression statistics for a recorded stream,
• test the ROHC library with your local network traffic,
• run the IP/ROHC tunnel application to establish a tunnel with compression capabilities between 2 machines,
• use the ROHC library in your own program.
