Make sure you read InstallationHowTo about required packages!

EDE is available in binary form on some distributions. This means that packages exist which can simply be installed by the native package management on these systems. No need for you to compile EDE yourself if you don't want to.

Linux distributions
		Arch Linux packages for both i686 and x86_64 are available through our Arch Linux repository.See EDEOnArchLinux for instructions.
		Pre-built packages (including FLTK 1.3) for i486 and x86_64 are available from our Slackware repository. See EDEOnSlackware for instructions.
BSD
		OpenBSD (since 5.4) packages EDE for i386, amd64, hppa, mips64, powerpc and sparc64! See EDEOnOpenBSD for instructions.

You can also download, compile and install latest EDE version from source code via a friendly NetInstall script by running (as superuser):

wget http://equinox-project.org/netinstall && python netinstall

The Remastersys team created an Ubuntu 12.04 based distribution with EDE which you can burn on CD or use with a virtual drive.

To download the latest source code from repository, you will need subversion installed. Here is how to checkout EDE components:

• ede: svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/ede/code/trunk/ede2
• edelib: svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/ede/code/trunk/edelib

You can also browse it directly via Sourceforge.
