# How to install wfview without  building yourself on selected linux versions



We understand that downloading sources with git, selecting branches and building yourself may a bit daunting.
In the future we may at some point start distributing packages and/or images like appimage, flatpack. snap.


Instructions how to use this w/o building yourself. We are using a precompiled version that has been tested on a few 
different versions of linux in alphabetical order. Note that all are click-click-next-next-finish installs.

~~~
Debian 11  (Debian 10 is outdated)
Fedora 33
Fedora 34
mint 20.1 
openSUSE 15.x
openSUSE Tumbleweed
SLES 15.x
Ubuntu 20.04.2
~~~


### for all, the following is appicable:
~~~
mkdir -p ~/src/build 
cd ~/src/build 
wget https://wfview.org/downloads/latest.tar.gz   (filepath/name tbd -- currently: mail roeland, pa3met for files)
tar zxvf latest.tar.gz
sudo ./install.sh
~~~
this will install the binary and a few other files to your system.
