mercury_json is licensed under a simple 2-clause BSD style license. See the file COPYING for details.

Check the values in the file Make.options to see if they agree with your system, then do:

$ make install

You can also override values in Make.options on the command line, for example

$ make INSTALL_PREFIX=/foo/bar install

causes the library to be installed in the directory /foo/bar.

To run the regression test suite, do:

$ make runtests

The samples directory contains some example programs that demonstrate different features of the library.
