Installing ‘dos2unix’ from Source Code

If ‘dos2unix’ is not available in your distribution’s package repository or you need a different version, you can install it from the source code. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can do it:

    Download the source code from the official website or a trusted source. You can use the ‘wget’ command to do this:

wget http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/dos2unix/dos2unix-7.4.2.tar.gz

Bash

    Extract the downloaded file using the ‘tar’ command:

tar -xvf dos2unix-7.4.2.tar.gz

Bash

    Navigate into the extracted directory:

cd dos2unix-7.4.2

Bash

    Compile and install the program. The ‘make’ command compiles the program, and ‘sudo make install’ installs it:

make
sudo make install
