## 2.1.2 Unix/Linux

There are several ways to get Plucker installed

- RPM package
- DEB package
- TAR package with binaries
- TAR package with source code

If you install the RPM package, you only have to run plucker-setup to set up the Plucker environment in you home directory (see chapter refsec:Parser for more info about changing the description, configuration and exclusion list files)

If you have downloaded the binary TAR package, then do the following:

1. Unpack the file.
2. Go to the unix directory.
3. Run ./install-plucker
4. Answer the questions about where the files should be installed.

If you have downloaded the source package, you will do the same thing as explained above, but this time you must have all development tools installed to be able to build all parts of Plucker.
