3 This project aims to provide a full-featured [exFAT](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT) file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a [FUSE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils).
5 Supported operating systems:
8 * Mac OS X 10.5 or later
12 Most GNU/Linux distributions already have fuse-exfat and exfat-utils in their repositories, so you can just install and use them. The next chapter describes how to compile them from source.
16 To build this project under GNU/Linux you need to install the following packages:
22 * fuse-devel (or libfuse-dev)
26 Get the source code, change directory and compile:
29 git clone https://github.com/relan/exfat.git
32 ./configure --prefix=/usr
36 Then install driver and utilities:
44 Modern GNU/Linux distributions will mount exFAT volumes automatically—util-linux-ng 2.18 (was renamed to util-linux in 2.19) is required for this. Anyway, you can mount manually (you will need root privileges):
47 sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdXn /mnt/exfat
50 where /dev/sdXn is the partition special file, /mnt/exfat is a mountpoint.
