title: How to install ZBar for C on Debian
body: <p>I am trying to install ZBar library on my Debian.  </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZBar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZBar</a></p>
  
  <p>First I tried to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install zbar-tools zbar-dbg libzbar-dev
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately it seems that it installed the <code>0.10</code> version which hasn't been developed since 2012 and perhaps this is the reason why it does not work well.  </p>
  
  <p>There is a newer version available here <a href="https://github.com/mchehab/zbar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/mchehab/zbar</a> but I have no idea how to install it from github. I tried to follow the <code>INSTALL.md</code> but it doesn't make sense for me. For example it says to run configure shell script while there is no such file available?!</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone please tell me step by step how to install this?</p>
