Installation

How you install Mutt depends on several factors.

which operating system you want to run it on

like a billion other factors.

whatever, I'll just pick a few ways to install it and describe them.

oh, one more thing: for some of these platforms, i can't know if you happen to have curl or fetch or links or lynx or wget or whatever installed, so uh, good luck.
