You'll need some sort of Linux machine. Other Unices may work, though that is untested. You will need version 1.0.16 or greater of libusb. Debian 7 (Wheezy) users should do this to make sure you get the right version:
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential git fakeroot dpkg-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro.git
cd minipro
make
sudo make install
Building a Debian package directly from this repository is easy. Make sure you have the packages described above installed. Be sure it all builds, then do this:
sudo apt-get install fakeroot dpkg-dev
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b
You should then have a .deb file for you to install with dpkg -i.
