1. Download the Rakudo Star tarball.
2. Unpack the tarball.
3. Run Configure.pl, passing the ultimate install dir to --prefix.
Since you ultimately want to eliminate the install stuff, make
sure the install is somewhere outside of the tarball root:
(I've used $HOME/install in the example below.)
4. Run "make install".
$ tar xvfz rakudo-star-2010.08.tar.gz
$ cd rakudo-star-2010.08
$ perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot --prefix=$HOME/install
$ make install
After the "make install" step, you should be able to remove the
entire rakudo-star-2010.08 directory -- i.e., all the files needed
to run Rakudo (and modules) are installed to the appropriate location
in the install/ directory.
