Installing gEDA less than 3-minutes

Here's the recipe for instant gEDA in your Linux:

1. Download gEDA binary suite from here(HTTP) or here(FTP). If those two links don't work anymore, please refer to the gEDA download page: gEDA Binary Suite section


2. Unzip the file using:
   

   # tar xvjf gedasuite-linux-x86-0.0.2.tar.bz2

4. Run the script and answer the questions:

   # ./install.sh



5. Add the gEDA directory to your path:

That's all folks. Enjoy your geda.
