Getting Inishell
There are several ways to get Inishell:
- as binary packages (executables/installers) for your platform;
- as source package, to recompile for your platform;
- a git clone, to recompile for your platform.
Binary packages
For each release, several packages are prepared for various operating systems (MS Windows, Mac osX, Linux RPM and Linux DEB, Linux TGZ) and distributed in the downloads section of this web site. This is the easiest way to install Inishell. The Windows Installer needs Admin rights. If you do not have those, use the Windows portable Zip file.
Source package
For each release, there might be a source package, distributed in the downloads section of this web site. You have to unpack the archive, enter into it and compile it (see Compiling Inishell).
Git clone
This is mainly for developers who want to work on Inishell itself or to get the very latest version. First, you need to make sure that you have a git client on your computer. Then you can get your copy of Inishell.
Git client
You can use either a command line client or a graphical client. You can find graphical clients for various platforms:
- for Windows, for example git-cola, TortoiseGit, gitForWindows (command line only).
- for Mac, for example git-cola.
- for Linux, for example git-cola or the command line git client of your distribution.
Getting the latest version
Once you have your client, point it to "https://code.wsl.ch/snow-models/inishell.git" and do a clone. For the command line client, run git clone https://code.wsl.ch/snow-models/inishell.git
