Installation

• Decompress and untar the Biodiverse package file to your hard drive. The following assumes you have unzipped it so $HOME/biodiverse is the top level. If you use a different path then modify the commands as appropriate.
• You might need to also install some of the dependencies, depending on your Linux installation. See the InstallationLinuxSource page for details (the lines containing apt-get).

Running it

• Biodiverse can be run by double clicking on BiodiverseGUI_linux.
• If you want to keep the command log visible after you close Biodiverse then run it from a terminal.
  • In the terminal, type $HOME/biodiverse/BiodiverseGUI_linux.
• If you want to avoid all the typing then edit your profile to add the biodiverse directory to your $PATH environment variable.

Troubleshooting and changes

• Ensure that you have installed the latest GTK+, Glade and GnomeCanvas packages.

• If you don't like the current window theme then you can change them using the Desktop Preferences (also via the gnome-appearance-properties tool). You can download and install more themes from http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2

• Please report any other issues using the project issue tracker
