Install
Platforms
- Linux
- If you don't need anything fancy, use your packet manager to install Scribus.
- If you want to be more up to date than your distribution is, you can add Scribus own repositories. They are available for Debian, Fedora, Red Hat, Suse, and Ubuntu (links needed)
- If you want to test the newest feature (or if there are no binaries for your platform) you can compile the source code you get from sourceforge (link) or from the svn server (link)
- OS X
- The stable version is only available through Fink or Darwinports (links?)
- Snapshots of the development version are availabe on Sourceforge (link)
- At the moment, there is no way to compile yourself Scribus for OS X
- Windows
- Binaries are available on Sourceforge (link)
- It's not easy to compile. The BUILDING_win32.txt explains how to do it.
