Tarballs It is a good idea to make a list of files on the system before you install Apache, and one afterwards, and then compare them using ‘diff’ to find out what file it placed where. Simply run find /* > apache1’ before and ‘find /* > apache2’ after you install the software’s, and use ‘diff apache1 apache2 > apache’ to get a list of what changed. Compilation Decompress the tarballs (tar.gz).
