# 5.28. Patch-2.7.6

The Patch package contains a program for modifying or creating files by applying a “patch” file typically created by the diff program.

Approximate build time: 0.2 SBU
Required disk space: 13 MB

## 5.28.1. Installation of Patch

Prepare Patch for compilation:

    ./configure --prefix=/tools

Compile the package:

    make

Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the Patch test suite anyway, issue the following command:

    make check

Install the package:

    make install

Details on this package are located in Section 6.67.2, “Contents of Patch.”
