To install do:
<tt>apt-get install bluefish-unstable</tt>

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===
Bluefish 2.0.0 currently is not in Alt Linux repos, but will soon appear in Sisyphus. 
For the moment, to install it you have to:

wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm
wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm
rpm -i bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm

If you want to build it on your system, just do:

wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.src.rpm
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb bluefish-2.0.0rc3.spec
cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/noarch
rpm -i bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm
For i586 do:
cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm
For x86_64 do:
cd x86_64
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.x86_64.rpm

=Installing [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/bluefish Bluefish on Gentoo]=

==Latest Gentoo stable==

emerge bluefish

==Latest available==

echo 'app-editors/bluefish' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords && emerge bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Slackware =
; Kwick n dirty method
: <tt>$ ./configure && make</tt>
: <tt># make install</tt>
: ''enjoy you are in Slackware ;)''
; But please consider to use a Slackbuild: (you know why)
; Dependencies
Bluefish compiles fine in slack 3.1 or slack elite, without gvfs. wget is your friend.

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
Bluefish needs [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gvfs/ gvfs] if you want to work with remote files.
: GVFS is work in progress. In Slackware, you need to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0); GSB (2.28.2) uses glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3. 
Slack 13.37 have glib2-2.28. SBo provide a SlackBuild for [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/gvfs/ gvfs-1.6.7]

= Installing Bluefish on OpenSolaris =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===
search for bluefish in the package manager, select and click apply.

=== Installing 2.0.x (current stable) ===
A binary package is not yet available in OpenSolaris, you have to compile from source, see [[Compiling_Bluefish_from_source]].

= Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X =

=== Installing 2.0.1 (current stable) Using Macports ===
Install [http://www.macports.org Macports].

Run from Terminal.app

<tt>sudo port install bluefish</tt>

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) Native (no X11 needed!) ===

Download Bluefish-2.0.3.dmg from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

Version 2.0.3 should work on OSX 10.5 and 10.6. '''This dmg is reported to crash on OSX Lion!'''

= Installing Bluefish on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 bit) =

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
download Bluefish-2.0.3-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

This installer needs internet access because it will download gtk library and the spell checking dictionaries for you.

==== Installing without internet access ====
download Bluefish-2.0.3-tagalong.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Now download the GTK+ installer (gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/GTK%2B%20for%20Windows/2.14.7%20Rev%20A/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe/download) and whatever language dictionaries (from http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/) you wish to install and
place them in a directory called 'redist' in the same folder as the
installer. The tagalong install will fall back on downloading the
file if it does not exist locally or the checksum of the local file
does not match the stored value.

= Installing Bluefish on Windows 7 (64 bit) =

Bluefish 2.0.2 on Windows 7 (64 bit) will fail to start with the newest version of GTK+. You have to manually download GTK 2.14.7 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.14/gtk2-runtime-2.14.7-2009-01-13-ash.exe/download and install it prior installing Bluefish itself. This will prevent Bluefish installer from donwloading the newest version.

If you already have GTK+ in newer version, you have to uninstall this one, and install version 2.14.7. Otherwise you won't be able to run Bluefish.

Than download Bluefish-2.0.2-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/ and install it.

Bluefish won't run with any newer version of GTK+ than 2.14.7, so do not upgrade this library. If it happens, you'll have to manually downgrade to mentioned version.

: ''enjoy you are in Slackware ;)''
; But please consider to use a Slackbuild: (you know why)
; Dependencies
Bluefish compiles fine in slack 3.1 or slack elite, without gvfs. wget is your friend.

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
Bluefish needs [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gvfs/ gvfs] if you want to work with remote files.
: GVFS is work in progress. In Slackware, you need to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0); GSB (2.28.2) uses glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3. 
Slack 13.37 have glib2-2.28. SBo provide a SlackBuild for [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/gvfs/ gvfs-1.6.7]

= Installing Bluefish on OpenSolaris =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===
search for bluefish in the package manager, select and click apply.

=== Installing 2.0.x (current stable) ===
A binary package is not yet available in OpenSolaris, you have to compile from source, see [[Compiling_Bluefish_from_source]].

= Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X =

=== Installing 2.0.1 (current stable) Using Macports ===
Install [http://www.macports.org Macports].

Run from Terminal.app

<tt>sudo port install bluefish</tt>

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) Native (no X11 needed!) ===

Download Bluefish-2.0.3.dmg from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

Version 2.0.3 should work on OSX 10.5 and 10.6. '''This dmg is reported to crash on OSX Lion!'''

= Installing Bluefish on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 bit) =

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
download Bluefish-2.0.3-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

This installer needs internet access because it will download gtk library and the spell checking dictionaries for you.

==== Installing without internet access ====
download Bluefish-2.0.3-tagalong.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Now download the GTK+ installer (gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/GTK%2B%20for%20Windows/2.14.7%20Rev%20A/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe/download) and whatever language dictionaries (from http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/) you wish to install and
place them in a directory called 'redist' in the same folder as the
installer. The tagalong install will fall back on downloading the
file if it does not exist locally or the checksum of the local file
does not match the stored value.

= Installing Bluefish on Windows 7 (64 bit) =

Bluefish 2.0.2 on Windows 7 (64 bit) will fail to start with the newest version of GTK+. You have to manually download GTK 2.14.7 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.14/gtk2-runtime-2.14.7-2009-01-13-ash.exe/download and install it prior installing Bluefish itself. This will prevent Bluefish installer from donwloading the newest version.

If you already have GTK+ in newer version, you have to uninstall this one, and install version 2.14.7. Otherwise you won't be able to run Bluefish.

Than download Bluefish-2.0.2-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/ and install it.

Bluefish won't run with any newer version of GTK+ than 2.14.7, so do not upgrade this library. If it happens, you'll have to manually downgrade to mentioned version.
