Now download and install mdp:
$ git clone https://github.com/visit1985/mdp.git

$ make
$ make install
$ mdp sample.md
- On Arch, you can use the existing AUR package.
- on Cygwin you can use the existing package from the setup program.
- On Debian, you can use the existing DEB package, or run
apt-get install mdp. - On FreeBSD, you can use the port misc/mdp.
- On OS-X, use the existing Homebrew Formula by running

sbopkg -i mdp. - On Ubuntu, you can use the existing DEB package, or run
apt-get install mdp.
