Packages
Uzbl is available through the package managers of Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu and more. If you cannot find a package for your system you may find a tutorial on uzbl.org/wiki/howtos
From source
You can pull the code from git or get a tagged tarball.
$ git clone git://github.com/uzbl/uzbl.git
$ cd uzbl
[ $ git checkout origin/next ] # optional. see below
$ make
$ sudo make install
Persistent settings (PREFIX, GTK version, etc.) may be set in a local.mk
file. If you want to remove uzbl again, you can issue:
$ make uninstall
Tarballs can be pulled from github.com/uzbl/uzbl/downloads
Though you can only get tagged versions from the master branch, which may be older then what you'll have through git.

$ sudo make install-uzbl-core $ sudo make install-uzbl-browser $ sudo make install-uzbl-tabbed
