Binary packages
The easiest and fastest way to install geopsy, dinver and other applications is to use the packaging system specific to your Linux distribution, if available. This binary distribution has been introduced at the end of year 2008. Currently only a few distributions are supported:
Source package
This is the primary distribution method always available as a backup if the binary method fails.
Requirements
A decent gcc version is required primarily for Qt. The recommended versions are listed here. To check the version of your compiler:
gcc --version #
Qt libraries and development tools must be available. Currently only all Qt releases posterior or equal to 4.3.3 are supported. To test if Qt is already installed:
qmake -version # QMake version 2.01a # Using Qt version 4.3.3 in /usr/lib64/qt4 lupdate -version # lupdate version 4.3.3
If you get these answers (or more recent versions), you can jump directly to [download]. If not you must install Qt. If it is available as a binary package for your Linux distribution, install it with development extension. If not you must download Qt sources and follow Qt instructions. Tips for compiling Qt from source.
