Linux installation instructions

Unpack by typing

tar zxvf OpenBUGS-3.2.3.tar.gz
cd OpenBUGS-3.2.3


then compile and install by typing

./configure
make
sudo make install


The “sudo” is included since “make install” requires root (administrative) privileges by default. If you don’t have administrative access, you can get around this by installing in a location other than /usr/local, for example /home/chris/usr :

./configure --prefix=/home/chris/usr
make
make install


OpenBUGS for Linux is a command-line program and there is no graphical user interface. Instructions for invoking OpenBUGS can be obtained by typing

man OpenBUGS
