6. Installing a Binary Distribution
Different packages -- different installation.
We will cover only a few approaches here<ref>If you want to contribute a description on how to install Bluefish on your system, just drop us a note. :-)</ref>, since the installation is very system-specific ;-). Let us have a look at some different systems:
- For Debian users this is very simple. To download, install, and configure bluefish in “One Swift Move”, run:
$ su - && apt-get update && apt-get install bluefish
You can check if the version available through apt is the latest -- see the Bluefish homepage, and compare the version there with what apt-cache show bluefish tells you. If there is a newer version on the Bluefish site, download it and install the package like this: dpkg -i bluefish-ver.deb - For rpm based distributions, first check if your distribution has a recent Bluefish version. If it does not, download the rpm for your distribution from any of the Bluefish mirrors. Installing a downloaded rpm is as simple as pointing and clicking in your favorite GUI package manager, or issuing the following command from the command line (as root):
# rpm -Uvh bluefish-ver.rpm - If you're using FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD, we probably do not need to tell you how to use your favorite package system ;-)
- For Mac users, just install it via Fink. Depending of you operating system's version you have the choice between:
- bluefish v. 0.7 for Mac OS X 10.1
- bluefish v. 0.12 for Mac OS X 10.2
- bluefish v. 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.3 and above
