What to download

If you just wish to run BSU, download a binary package that matches your packaging system or compile from the tar archive. If you plan on modifying or extending BSU, then you will want to download either a suitable source package, or the source TAR archive.

NOTES: Above packages are 64 bit. Source code should compile on both 32 and 64 bit systems. The APT package managed systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) may work with packages for Debian 10 if they are at the Debian 10 level or more recent. The earlier versions of Debian should be compiled from source using appropriate configure options (see above, sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 ).

The RPM package managed systems (CENTOS, Open Suse, Redhat Enterprise) have particular considerations. Since CENTOS 7 has a conflict when installing under the /usr directory tree (but CENTOS 6 has no such conflict with a filesystem package). So installing in the /usr/local directory tree was chosen in the *.spec files since that location works for both versions of CENTOS.

The Microsoft case was compiled on Linux using the Mingw32 tool chain, producing most of the programs as *.exe files that will run well in a PowerShell terminal. Just unzip the file BSU_EXEC.zip in a location of choice that is included in the execution path.

In all cases, compiling from source is always an option, particularly if one wishes to add or modify codes in BSU. The *.asc files are GPG detached signatures signed with my Key 4812C85C (see my web page for a copy of the key).
