Get Bomns Via Source TarballThere are several ways to get your hands on Bomn for Linux, but the most common is probably to grab a source tarball from the project page and compile it. I don't currently provide any binary packages, because they are, in general, a pain in the ass to maintain. If anybody wants to contribute binary packages for any BfL version, I would be glad to put them up.Get the Latest Source Via GitFor people who want bleeding edge code, or a fix for a recently-found-but-not-in-latest-release-yet type bug, there's Git. It'll be less tested, and maybe less stable, but you've always got the latest release to fall back on if you need it.To check out a spanking fresh copy of the code, open a terminal and type:
That'll start pulling down files, and soon you'll have a shiny new "bomns" directory. Then just proceed to install normally. Once you've done that, you can always update your local version of the repository by typing:
That'll compare your local version of the Bomns for Linux code with the latest Git, and make any necessary changes. Simple. NOTE: You can also browse the Git repository, which is cool. |
