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:
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_sid.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d


Run updates, to pick up the newly available options
deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports-sloppy main


sudo apt-get update
or


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
deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian-backports oldoldstable-backports-sloppy main


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
And install the package via:
sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring

== Installing the very latest on Ubuntu Linux ==
sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_squeeze.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d


Run updates, to pick up the newly available options
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:


  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


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
Please note, that the http://debian.wgdd.de repository has become obsolete. See below, how to clean your system.


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
=== Removing obsolete debian.wgdd.de entries from sources.list ===
sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get install bluefish


=== Installing 2.0 (current stable) on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) ===
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:


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

and update your system:


  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


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
Also the '''wgdd-archive-keyring''' package then is obsolete together with the repository keyring. If you have the package installed, do:


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
  sudo apt-get autoremove --purge wgdd-archive-keyring
  sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring

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


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


Run from Terminal.app
Use the contextual menu (e.g. secondary-click button), and you'll see a menu with "Open" in it.
This will present you with a dialogue box, asking you for permission to run the software.
You will only be asked this the first time.


<tt>sudo port install bluefish</tt>
Alternatively, the ''Gatekeeper'' setting can be disabled. For information, see:

= Installing Bluefish on Windows 7 (64 bit) =
The installer will fall back on downloading the files if they are not found in the redist folder, or if the checksum of the local copy is invalid.


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.
= Installing the latest development packages on any OS =


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.
While care is taken to keep development versions very stable and usable, development versions may crash, contain data eating bugs and incomplete features.<br/>
Please report any bugs you might find to [https://sourceforge.net/p/bluefish/tickets/ Bluefish tickets]<br/>


Than download Bluefish-2.0.2-setup.exe from the main download server
If you wish to test the bleeding edge versions of Bluefish currently under development, you should follow the instructions found on [[Bluefish Wiki:Installing Bluefish from Source|Installing Bluefish from Source]] <br/>
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.
There are currently no other options available.
