Nik Roberts: There was a missing step (apt-get update once source added)

= Installing Bluefish on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (Lenny) =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===

use
apt-get install bluefish
aptitude install bluefish
or synaptic or any other package manager

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===

add the following line, that fits your Debian version, to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.wgdd.de/debian lenny main contrib non-free

'''or''' put a snippet into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_lenny.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
apt-get install bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Debian GNU/Linux Sid or Squeeze =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===

use
apt-get install bluefish
aptitude install bluefish
or synaptic or any other package manager

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===

add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.wgdd.de/debian sid main contrib non-free

'''or''' put a snippet into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_sid.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
apt-get install bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Ubuntu Linux =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===

apt-get install bluefish

or any other frontend for the package manager such as aptitude, synaptic or simply "add / remove programs"

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) on Ubuntu 8.04 ===

Binary packages for 8.04 are not in a repository. Download the packages from:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/ubuntu_8.04/
and install them with
sudo dpkg -i bluefish*.deb

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) on Ubuntu 9.04 or newer ===

add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [http://debian.wgdd.de/debian http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu] jaunty main restricted universe multiverse

'''or''' put a snippet into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_ubuntu.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Run updates, to pick up the newly available options
apt-get update
You may see errors at this point, because you've not yet installed the cryptographic key, but that's OK as you're about to do that

Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
apt-get install bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Fedora Linux =

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

= Installing Bluefish on Gentoo =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===

run
emerge bluefish

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===

it is at this moment unknown when 2.0.0 will hit Gentoo. Probably this won't take long.

= 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 depends on Gnome:
: consider to install some ''gnome minimal''.
: Have a look at dependencies file at third party slackbuilders,
: have a look at ./configure issues.

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===
Bluefish depends now on [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gvfs/ gvfs] if you want to trade with remote files.
: GVFS is work in progress, you need almost to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0) to hope it works; GSB (2.28.2) use glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3. 
: If you know how to use any ftp client you do not realy need gvfs!
You can use your bluefish.SlackBuild 1.0 for Bluefish 2.

= Installing Bluefish on OpenSolaris =

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

=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===
Not yet available in OpenSolaris, you have to compile from source, see [[Compiling_Bluefish_from_source]].
