Note for Gentoo Users: Gentoo's default GNOME installation does not include the gnome-audio package by default, so you will have to emerge it as well to get the necessary sound files. (Tip from Graham Innes)

Installation
  1. Unpack the source
  2. Open up a terminal
  3. cd /path/to/timer-applet/
  4. ./configure --prefix=/usr (on most distributions of Linux, applets must be installed with /usr as the prefix)
  5. make
  6. As root: make install
  7. Log out and then log in again to make Timer Applet show up in the list of available panel applets
