Most of the documentation is a snapshot of the old Namesys site (archive.org, 2007-09-29).
There was also a Reiser4 Wiki (archive.org, 2007-07-06) once on pub.namesys.com.
Reiser4 development appears to have stalled and ReiserFS is deprecated and scheduled to be removed from mainline Linux in 2025.

The tools to maintain a Reiser4 filesystem are called reiser4progs and can be found on Sourceforge. If your distribution does not ship a pre-compiled package, we have to build this manually.
libaal
To compile reiser4progs, we'll need libaal too:
VER=1.0.6 wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/reiser4/reiser4-utils/libaal/libaal-$VER.tar.gz tar -xzf libaal-$VER.tar.gz cd libaal-$VER
Alternatively, the source can also be checked out from via Git:
git clone https://github.com/edward6/libaal libaal-git cd libaal-git sh ./prepare
Continue with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/libaal make && sudo make install cd /opt/libaal && ln -s lib64 lib # For 64 bit systems!
reiser4progs
Now we can build reiser4progs:
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev uuid-dev # Debian, Ubuntu sudo yum install readline-devel libuuid-devel glibc-static # openSUSE, Fedora VER=1.1.0 wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/reiser4/reiser4-utils/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-$VER.tar.gz tar -xzf reiser4progs-$VER.tar.gz cd reiser4progs-$VER
Alternatively, the source can also be checked out from via Git:
git clone https://github.com/edward6/reiser4progs.git reiser4progs-git cd reiser4progs-git sh ./prepare
Continue with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/reiser4progs --with-libaal=/opt/libaal make && sudo make install
Note: if libaal has been installed from a distribution package (libaal-dev resp. libaal-devel), the --with-libaal flag can be omitted!
