The version in Debian Sid is always the latest available, see http://packages.debian.org/sid/bluefish . Debian Lenny and Debian Squeeze users may use the procedures below to get the most recent bluefish version.
== Installing the very latest release on Debian ==


=== Installing 2.2 release candidates on Debian Sid and Wheezy ===
=== Installing the very latest release on Debian 8 (Jessie/Stable) ===


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/source/jessie-backports/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:


Add the following line to  /etc/apt/sources.list
  deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
  deb     http://debian.wgdd.de/debian sid main contrib non-free


'''or''' put a snippet into  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
or
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 stable-backports main


  sudo apt-get update
And install the package via:
 
  apt-get -t jessie-backports install bluefish
 
Report any bugs to the Debian bugtracker.
 
=== Installing the very latest release on Debian 7.0 (Wheezy/Oldstable) ===
 
Recent packages for bluefish are available from the [https://packages.debian.org/source/wheezy-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:

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
sudo apt-get install bluefish


=== Installing 2.2 on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) ===
apt-get -t squeeze-backports-sloppy install bluefish


Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
This version is built with the GTK+ 2 libraries. Report any bugs to the Debian bugtracker.
deb    http://debian.wgdd.de/debian squeeze main contrib non-free


'''or''' put a snippet into  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
== 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 Bluefish on Ubuntu Linux =
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:


== Installing 2.0 on Ubuntu ==
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


  sudo apt-get install bluefish
  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


or any other frontend for the package manager such as aptitude, synaptic or simply "add / remove programs"
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


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.
and update your system:


=== Installing 2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 or newer ===
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


add the following line that fits your Ubuntu version 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] 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
  sudo apt-get autoremove --purge wgdd-archive-keyring
  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
... or if you only had the key:


Then install the repository cryptographic key and Bluefish:
  sudo apt-key del E394D996

Revision as of 20:31, 28 January 2017

Installing Bluefish on Debian GNU/Linux

Installing the release that is part of Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / etc.

Use

sudo apt-get install bluefish
sudo aptitude install bluefish

or any other frontend for the package manager such as synaptic or simply "add / remove programs".

Installing the very latest release on Debian

Installing the very latest release on Debian 8 (Jessie/Stable)

Recent packages for bluefish are available from the official Debian backports archive and can be installed by following the instructions given here. The entry would look like this:

deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

or

deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian stable-backports main

And install the package via:

apt-get -t jessie-backports install bluefish

Report any bugs to the Debian bugtracker.

Installing the very latest release on Debian 7.0 (Wheezy/Oldstable)

Recent packages for bluefish are available from the official Debian backports archive and can be installed by following the instructions given here. The entry would look like this:

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

or

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

And install the package via:

apt-get -t wheezy-backports-sloppy install bluefish

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 official Debian backports archive and can be installed by following the instructions given 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 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 upgrade

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

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

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:

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
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
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 

and update your system:

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:

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

... or if you only had the key:

sudo apt-key del E394D996

Installing Bluefish on Fedora Linux

Installing the version distributed by Fedora

dnf install bluefish

Installing the very latest on Fedora with dnf

To enable a bluefish-release dnf repository download the bluefish-release.repo file.

Then you can install normally with...

dnf install bluefish

Packages are currently provided for Fedora 24 and 25. Packages are provided for both i386 and x86_64.
All packages are built using mock. All packages are signed. You will be prompted to download the GPG key.

Installing development versions on Fedora with dnf

While care is taken to keep development versions very stable and usable, development versions may crash, contain data eating bugs and incomplete features.
Please report any bugs you might find in Bluefish bugzilla

If you wish to test the bleeding edge versions of Bluefish currently under development download the bluefish-svn.repo file.
Place this repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

Then you can install normally with...

dnf install bluefish

Packages are currently provided for Fedora 24 and 25. Packages are provided for both i386 and x86_64.
All packages are built using mock. All packages are signed. You will be prompted to download the GPG key.


Installing Bluefish on RHEL/CentOS 6.5

Installing the very latest on RHEL/CentOS 6.5

Bluefish packages for RHEL/CentOS 6.5 are available at the links below for i386 and x86_64.
These packages require version 6.5. Previous versions prior to 6.5 had GTK+ 2.18.x.
