2. GNU Phantom.Security Installation

SOFTWARE:
Aside from compiling the source code (one file) and editing the configuration file (Phantom.conf), there is little to install.

To compile:
configure
make
make install

This creates the binary needed to run the program. Editing the Phantom.conf configuration is detailed in section 4. Aside from this, there is little to do software wise.

make install defaults to copying the necessary files to /home/Phantom/security this can be changed by editing the top-level Makefile.am & running aclocal, autoconf, & automake. Then run configure, make, & make install.

HARDWARE:
I've included the necessary circuit diagram used to build the interface between the devices (i.e. motion sensors, door magnets, etc...) and the computer (or, rather, it's parallel port). It's a basic simple circuit, and anyone with some electronics circuit assembly experience should be able to whip it up. The circuit can, of course, be modified if your prerogative defines it :).
