= Pre-built Packages =
Pre-built (binary) packages are available for the following distributions:

 * Debian (Etch)
 * Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn / Gutsy Gibbon / Hardy Heron)
 * Fedora Core (7, 8)
 * CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (4, 5)

The build is divided into 5 packages:

 * ecell3 (CLI tools and utilities)
 * ecell3-dev / ecell3-devel (necessary for DM developing)
 * ecell3-session-monitor (GUI session monitor)
 * ecell3-model-editor (GUI model editor)
 * ecell3-tool-launcher (GUI compiler launcher)

Packages for these distributions are placed at downloads.e-cell.org.

Note that the repositories contain several packages of other projects (e.g. libSBML) for convenience.

You can browse the available packages through the very simple indexer from [http://downloads.e-cell.org/ here].

=== !NumPy ===
 * Basically the same as FC8's except for el4, where blas and lapack dependencies are dropped.

=== Debian / Ubuntu (apt and dpkg based) ===
Append any one of the following lines to {{{/etc/apt/sources.list}}}.
 * Debian: Etch
{{{
deb http://downloads.e-cell.org/apt/etch/ etch contrib
}}}
 * Ubuntu: Feisty Fawn
{{{
deb http://downloads.e-cell.org/apt/feisty/ feisty contrib
}}}
 * Ubuntu: Gutsy Gibbon
{{{
deb http://downloads.e-cell.org/apt/gutsy/ gutsy contrib
}}}
 * Ubuntu: Hardy Heron
{{{
deb http://downloads.e-cell.org/apt/hardy/ hardy contrib
}}}

Next, run {{{apt-get update}}} to update the local copies of package databases.

Finally, just type
{{{
apt-get install ecell3
}}}

to see everything gets installed without difficulties anymore :)
 
=== Fedora Core / Cent OS (yum and rpm based) ===
Save any one of the following content to /etc/yum.repos.d/ecell.repo .

 * CentOS: Version 4, 5
{{{
# Name: E-Cell RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 4, 5
# URL: http://downloads.e-cell.org/
[ecell]
name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - E-Cell
baseurl = http://downloads.e-cell.org/yum/el$releasever/$basearch
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgcheck = 0
}}}

 * Fedora Core: Version 7, 8
{{{
# Name: E-Cell RPM Repository for Fedora Core
# URL: http://downloads.e-cell.org/
[ecell]
name = Fedora Core $releasever - E-Cell
baseurl = http://downloads.e-cell.org/yum/fc$releasever/$basearch
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgcheck = 0
}}}

And then type 
{{{
yum install ecell3
}}}
to get your E-Cell installation out of the repository.
