Installation of BibleTime

This section explains how to install BibleTime on your system. Basically there are two ways to install it: Either by using prebuilt binary packages or by compiling from source code. Installing BibleTime using prebuilt packages is the easiest way.

Prebuilt binary packages

With the help of great volunteers, we try to provide packages for many popular Linux/Unix distributions. Before installing BibleTime, however, you need to find and install packages for CLucene >= 0.9.16a and Sword.

First download the binary package for your distribution listed above, and install it. More information can also be found on the BibleTime development wiki.

If there are no packages for your version of Linux you have to install from source code. Please see below how to do that.

Installation from source code

Installation using BibleTime's source code is more difficult than using binary packages. Please follow the steps detailed on the BibleTime development wiki.

Install works

You need Sword modules to work with BibleTime. Since version 1.4 BibleTime offers a userfriendly dialog (the Bookshelf Manager) to install/update/remove works. We strongly recommend this way to install works on your computer.

Instructions for manual installation is available on www.crosswire.org/sword/modules.
