Using a prebuilt .deb package¶
The recommended way to install RAW on Linux is using a prebuilt .deb package. To install from a prebuilt app package:
Download the
RAW-x.y.z-linux-amd64.deb
(wherex.y.z
is the version number) file from sourceforge:- Be sure to save the file, rather than opening it with a program.
Open a terminal and navigate to where you saved the downloads (usually:
cd ~/Downloads
)Run the following command to install, replacing the version number with the correct version:
sudo dpkg --install RAW-x.y.z-linux-amd64.deb
You may now run RAW either by:
- Using the command
bioxtas-raw
from the command line - Opening the ‘BioXTAS RAW’ program from your Activities menu or similar.
- Using the command
Note: if you wish to uninstall a version of RAW installed this way, simply use
the following command: sudo apt-get remove bioxtas-raw
