Installing Doxygen is really straight forward. It is important to note that you don't need to install Doxygen unless you want to generate documentation for the libraries you're compiling. If this is what you want to do, then the following is a list of sets to get up and running on your operating system of choice:

Mac OS X

Download the dmg Doxygen and install it!

Windows

Download the exe Doxygen and install it!

Linux

Installing Doxygen on Linux is not bad. You need to compile it from source if you want the latest version. Just follow these steps to get it installed properly:

  1. First download the Doxygen source distribution
  2. Unarchive it to $DOXYGEN_HOME
  • A good example of $DOXYGEN_HOME is: /home/username/Programming/Tools/doxygen-1.8.2-src
  1. Open up a terminal
  2. cd into $DOXYGEN_HOME
  3. Type "./configure --prefix $INSTALL_HOME"
  • A good example of $INSTALL_HOME is /home/username/Programming/Tools/doxygen-1.8.2
  1. make
  2. make install
  3. Add the $INSTALL_HOME/bin to your $PATH environment variable
