Packages
The only binary packages are Windows installers. For Linux users, please see your distribution's normal update channels.
Exception for Ubuntu users: See this page for using a PPA. This is necessary because Ubuntu no longer directly supports certain packages required for Xiphos.
If you have packages to contribute or information on how to build them for a specific distribution, please let us know.
Note
Xiphos operates using support from Sword. Current Xiphos requires Sword version 1.8.1 or later (source). Most packagers offer libsword in addition to Xiphos packages.
Note that if you choose to build Xiphos with your own build of Sword, CLucene is not required, though it is still recommended.
Source Packages
