This entry is only for Debian Sid/Wheezy users, who want to test the release candidates too. Official bluefish releases are provided via the Debian archive.
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].  


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


'''or''' put a snippet into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
  <tt>apt-get install bluefish</tt>

=== 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:


  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Please note, that the http://debian.wgdd.de repository has become obsolete. See below, how to clean your system.


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
=== Removing obsolete debian.wgdd.de entries from sources.list ===


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


=== Installing 2.2 on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) ===
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    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian squeeze main contrib non-free

  sudo wget http://debian.wgdd.de/stuff/debian.wgdd.de_squeeze.list -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d
  deb-src http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main restricted universe multiverse


Run updates, to pick up the newly available options
and update your system:


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Also the '''wgdd-archive-keyring''' package then is obsolete together with the repository keyring.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


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
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge wgdd-archive-keyring


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

sudo apt-key del E394D996

= Installing Bluefish on Fedora Linux =


== Installing 2.0 on Ubuntu ==
=== Installing the version distributed by Fedora ===


  sudo apt-get install bluefish
  dnf install bluefish


or any other frontend for the package manager such as aptitude, synaptic or simply "add / remove programs"
This should be the latest stable version {{Version}}. More info can be found on [https://fedora.pkgs.org/37/fedora-x86_64/bluefish-2.2.12-8.fc37.x86_64.rpm.html https://fedora.pkgs.org/37/fedora-x86_64/bluefish-2.2.12-8.fc37.x86_64.rpm.html]


Note, that you only need to use the procedures below, if recent bluefish packages are not provided by the Ubuntu archives. This may be the case for released Ubuntu versions after some time. In this case pick up the instructions for your Ubuntu version from below.
<!--
=== Installing the very latest on Fedora with dnf ===


=== Installing 2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 or newer ===
To enable a bluefish-release dnf repository download the [http://bluefish.linuxexperience.net/downloads/fedora/bluefish-release.repo bluefish-release.repo] file.<br/>
Place this repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d<br/>


add the following line that fits your Ubuntu version to  /etc/apt/sources.list
Then you can install normally with...
deb    [http://debian.wgdd.de/debian http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu] lucid    main restricted universe multiverse
deb    [http://debian.wgdd.de/debian http://debian.wgdd.de/ubuntu] maverick main restricted universe multiverse


Run updates, to pick up the newly available options
  dnf install bluefish
  sudo 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:

This process is also automated through 1-Click-Install on the openSUSE Build Service: https://software.opensuse.org/package/bluefish

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
    or
  2. run $ pacman -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.
