Recent packages for bluefish are available from the [https://packages.debian.org/stable/bluefish official Debian packages website] and can be installed by following the instructions given [https://packages.debian.org/stable/bluefish there].
apt-get install bluefish
aptitude install bluefish
or synaptic or any other package manager


=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) ===
Install the package via:


add the following line to  /etc/apt/sources.list
<tt>apt-get install bluefish</tt>
  deb     http://debian.wgdd.de/debian sid main contrib non-free
 
Report any bugs to the Debian bugtracker.

=== Installing the very latest release on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze/Oldoldstable) ===
 
Recent packages for bluefish are available from the [https://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze-backports-sloppy/bluefish official Debian backports archive] and can be installed by following the instructions given [http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ here]. The entry would look like this:
 
  deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports-sloppy main
 
or
 
deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian-backports oldoldstable-backports-sloppy main
 
And install the package via:
 
apt-get -t squeeze-backports-sloppy install bluefish
 
This version is built with the GTK+ 2 libraries. Report any bugs to the Debian bugtracker.
 
== Installing the very latest on Ubuntu Linux ==
 
You'll find recent packages of '''bluefish''' in [https://launchpad.net/~klaus-vormweg/+archive/bluefish the Bluefish PPA maintained by Klaus Vormweg]. Follow the instructions given there to add this repository. Then '''bluefish''' can be updated to its latest release:


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


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
Please note, that the http://debian.wgdd.de repository has become obsolete. See below, how to clean your system.
apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
apt-get install bluefish


= Installing Bluefish on Ubuntu Linux =
=== Removing obsolete debian.wgdd.de entries from sources.list ===


=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===
The http://debian.wgdd.de/ repository no longer provides packages of bluefish. The above steps make the following entries to either ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' or ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.wgdd.de_*.list'' or any other file in ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'' obsolete. You can safely remove any references to the http://debian.wgdd.de repository, that may look like these:


  apt-get install bluefish
  deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/debian stable main contrib non-free


or any other frontend for the package manager such as aptitude, synaptic or simply "add / remove programs"
deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian oldstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/debian oldstable main contrib non-free


=== Installing 2.0.0 (current stable) on Ubuntu 8.04 ===
deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main restricted universe multiverse


Binary packages for 8.04 are not in a repository. Download the packages from:
and update your system:
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 ===
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


add the following line to  /etc/apt/sources.list
Also the '''wgdd-archive-keyring''' package then is obsolete together with the repository keyring. If you have the package installed, do:
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 apt-get autoremove --purge wgdd-archive-keyring
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_ubuntu.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
... or if you only had the key:
apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
apt-get install bluefish


sudo apt-key del E394D996

Installing Bluefish on Archlinux and derivates

You have several options to install Bluefish on Arch Linux and its derivates like Manjaro etc.:

  1. run $ yay -S bluefish

Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X

Download the latest version installer from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

In Mavericks there is a system setting called Gatekeeper that only allows you to install packages from Apple-identified developers. Bluefish is not distributed through the Apple app store, so you will have to workaround that setting.

Alternatively, the Gatekeeper setting can be disabled. For information, see: https://lucidgen.com/en/how-to-disable-gatekeeper-sip-on-mac/ or http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5290

Installing Bluefish on Windows XP or newer

Installing with internet connection

Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server: http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

The installer will require internet access to download GTK+ and any spell check dictionaries. Please note that the internet-enabled setup may fail if the installer is run from a network share. See below for instructions for internet-less installation.

Installing on a PC without Internet Access
