quick standard installation
There are two main methods for installing Bluefish: Compile from source or install
a binary package. The last one is the easiest to do, so we'll cover that first here. ;-) There are
a few different approaches, caused by the differences between systems. We'll start off by summarizing
a few really quick and simple approaches before dealing with this problem more extensively.
-
Debian: su - && apt-get update && apt-get install bluefish
-
Red Hat, Mandrake (and other Linux distributions that supports rpm):
Download the latest .rpm from the bluefish website,
http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/
-
FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD distribute Bluefish through their packaging systems.
-
To compile, or install on another platform, see the section called “installing a bluefish source distribution”.
