By installing Bluefish from source, you may be able to get a newer version (from SVN) than those distributed as binaries. You may also need to compile from source if no binary is available for your system.

=== 4.1. Quick Installation Overview ===
This is the short installation description. Consult the other chapters if you are in doubt.

Bluefish is installed using the standard 'configure, make, make install' steps. Assuming you have downloaded a bluefish source package, for instance bluefish-ver.tar.gz (naturally, change the filename to what's appropriate), you complete the installation with the following steps:

# '''tar -zxvf bluefish-ver.tar.gz'''
# '''cd bluefish-ver'''
# '''./configure''' (see [[Man 2 ch02s05|Section 5, “Configure Options”]])
# '''make'''
# '''su -c 'make install''''
# Now, type '''bluefish''' to run. You may delete the bluefish-ver directory.

The '''configure''' script is used to automatically find the appropriate settings for your system. Because of differences between systems, this compile-time configuration is necessary, and configure solves this challenge easily -- with an added bonus of telling whether you have everything needed to compile.

The configure-script can be, um, configured. This is something you most likely will not need to do, but it is easy to do if necessary. For a complete list of configure options, see [[Man 2 ch02s05|Section 5, “Configure Options”]]

=== 4.2. Installing from Development Source Tree ===
You can get the latest Bluefish version via SVN using the instructions in [[Man 2 ch01s04|Section 4, “Latest Developmental Version”]]:
cd TheChoosenDirectory
svn co https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/

Next, install it with the following steps:

# Enter the directory containing the bluefish source files: <br/>'''cd TheChoosenDirectory/bluefish'''
# Next, generate the configure script by running <br/>'''./autogen.sh'''
# Then, you run <br/>'''./configure''' with whatever options you might want (see [[Man 2 ch02s05|Section 5, “Configure Options”]]). <br/> This example will cause ''make install'' to install Bluefish with the specified directory as prefix (i.e. the binary is installed in /usr/bin/bluefish-unstable):'''./configure --prefix=/usr'''<br/>By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.<br/>Run `./configure -h' to list available options.<br/>If configure fails, it will probably give a hint telling you what is missing or wrong.
# Assuming it completed successfully, your next step is to compile Bluefish. To do this, run '''make'''.
# When ''make'' has completed, you can install Bluefish: (''su'' to root first, unless you specified a user writable prefix to configure), then issue: '''<nowiki># make install</nowiki>'''.
#Now, type '''bluefish-unstable''' to run.
To update the sources at a later time:
# Enter the directory containing the bluefish source files: '''cd TheChoosenDirectory/bluefish'''
# '''svn update'''
# and then run '''./configure''', '''make''' and '''<nowiki>#</nowiki> make install'''.

=== 4.3. Problems Compiling? ===
If compilation fails, first make sure you have the necessary utilities and libraries. See [[Man 2 ch02#Section 1, “Requirements”| Section 1, “Requirements”]].

Next, see if your system is mentioned in [[Man 2 ch02s03|Section 3, “System Specific Installation Issues”]].

Below is a list of well known problems that have been mentioned on the bluefish-dev list:

* make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.<br/> This will happen if ''configure'' fails and you try to run '''make'''. It also happens if you're running '''make''' from the wrong directory.
* ... more trouble to come ;-)

If you're unable to find a solution (or if you think you have a solution others might want), feel free to contact us on the ''bluefish-dev'' list (See [[Man 2 pr01s02#2.4. Contact Us| Section 2.4, “Contact Us”]]). You may want to contact the bluefish package maintainer for your distribution first when appropriated.
