In Debian and many distributions you can simply install it with your package manager:
sudo apt install elinks
You can also build it from source by downloading it from http://elinks.or.cz/ and build it using your typical C build process of configure and make.
wget http://elinks.or.cz/download/elinks-current-0.13.tar.gz tar xzf elinks-current-0.13.tar.gz cd elinks-0.13-20210402 # Or whatever it's named ./configure --help | less # You might also need to install some dev libraries like: sudo apt install libz-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev ./configure --enable-gopher --enable-smb --enable-256-colors \ --enable-html-highlight --with-python --with-x --enable-bittorrent make src/elinks sudo make install # Optional
To see what features ELinks was built with, go to the Help | About menu with ALT-H A
. Your version may or may not have support for BitTorrent and Gopher protocols, mouse support, SSL/TLS, and other things.
Use the ALT
key (or mouse if it is supported) to open the menu in the top. From here you can explore some of the capabilities.
