Installing RSB
Currently, the 0.12 version of RSB can either be installed
manually by compiling the source code or in binary forms using pre-generated
packages. Depending on your needs you should chose one of these possibilities.
- Pre-generated packages
- For pre-generated packages a package maintainer has already preformed
the work of compiling the software or providing the required instructions.
Hence, the installation of RSB is a very simple operation.
However, with this installation method you cannot modify RSB
itself. This does not limit your ability to develop applications that
use RSB! In case you just want to use RSB, chose this
installation method.
- Compilation from source
- All software needs to be compiled manually using the build systems.
You should choose this solution in case you want to develop on RSB
itself, as the source code will remain under your complete control and
you are in a good position to change it frequently.
