Released versions of Prophet are available on CPAN and in Debian and Ubuntu. If you're running one of these operating systems, you can install the latest prophet release like this:

apt-get install libprophet-perl

Prophet is currently undergoing rapid development however, so we recommend installing directly from Git if you can.

The following command will get you a copy of the source tree you can install:

git clone git://gitorious.org/prophet/prophet.git

Once you've downloaded Prophet, you can install it:

cd prophet

PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl Makefile.PL

make test

make install

In the hopefully unlikely event that Prophet doesn't pass its tests, please tell the developers about it so we can improve things.
