<h1>Binary Upgrade Instructions for Mac OS X 10.1</h1>
<p>
Here is how to update the binary release of Fink under Mac OS X 10.1,
starting from the Fink official binary distribution, version 0.3.x or
later.
</p>
<p>There are several steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Getting the correct apt package.
Download the
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb";>apt-0.5.4-4</a>

packages.
In a Terminal.app window, go to the folder where you downloaded these
files and run these commands:
</p>
<pre>source /sw/bin/init.csh
sudo dpkg -i apt-shlibs_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb</pre>
<p>
(if you are using bash as your shell, source /sw/bin/init.sh instead)
</p>
</li>
<li><p>
Once apt is installed, use these commands to update apt and your installed
packages:
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install storable-pm</pre>
</li>
<li><p>Finally, update your package descriptions with the following
commands:
</p>
<pre>sudo touch /sw/fink/stamp-rel-0.3.0
fink selfupdate</pre>
</li>

<h1>Upgrade Instructions for Mac OS X 10.3</h1>
<p>It is now possible to upgrade Fink to take full advantage of the gcc 3.3
compiler, or to use OS X 10.3 if you have that installed. Both source
users
and binary users can upgrade; however, at present the binary version
is much more stable and reliable than the source version.
</p><p>
If you wish to perform this upgrade (in source form), and you had
previously installed the
June 2003 Developer Tools update from Apple, you will need to install
the August 2003 Developer Tools update BEFORE you upgrade Fink. Under
10.3, be sure to install XCode from the XCode disk before upgrading
Fink.
</p><p>
Running "fink selfupdate" should perform the upgrade for you. The latest
version of the fink package manager will automatically detect which
version of OS X and which version of gcc you have installed, and will
adjust itself accordingly.
</p><p>
If you wish to do a fresh install of Fink on a 10.3 system, we recommend
<extlink url="http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/srcdist.php";>bootstrapping from
source,</extlink> starting from fink-full-0.6.1.tar.gz available
on fink's <extlink
url="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17203";>sourceforge
download page.</extlink> You'll need XCode for this as
well.
</p><p>
Also note that once you have Fink version 0.15.0 or higher, you do
not need to install system-xfree86 anymore. Fink is
capable of automatically determining your system-xfree86 version if you
don't already have any fink x11 packages installed. If you currently
have an old system-xfree86 package of any kind installed, please run the
following:
</p>
<pre>sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86 system-xfree86-42 \
system-xfree86-43; fink selfupdate; fink index</pre>
<p>
The Fink team is still working on getting Fink packages working under 10.3,
but many many packages already work.

<h1>Download Fink Binary Release</h1>
<p>
The binary release of Fink saves you the burden of compiling the
programs on your local machine.
After installing a base system using the installer package, you can
download pre-compiled binary packages from this site with the dselect
and apt-get tools.
Only a part of the packages are actually available as binary packages;
the others can only be built from source as with the source release.
This is mainly due to legal reasons with the affected (missing) packages.
</p>
<?
include "../fink_version.inc";

<p>
<b>Status:</b>
A binary installer for Fink <? print $fink_version; ?> has been posted.
The binary distribution is complete.

you will find the binary packages and the corresponding source.</li>
</ul>
<p>

<h1>Repairing the Upgrade Path</h1>
<p>
Certain versions of Fink have difficulties with upgrades when running
<code>fink selfupdate</code> (without CVS). The result is a message
which states that Fink is up-to-date, even though (as the message
reports) the installed version is older than the latest version.
Here is how to update in this situation:
</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Install an older version of the fink package manager, by running
the following commands in a Terminal.app window:
</p>
<pre>curl -O
http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.5.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/fink_0.11.1-10_darwin-powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i fink_0.11.1-10_darwin-powerpc.deb
rm fink_0.11.1-10_darwin-powerpc.deb</pre>
<li><p>
Now update as usual, by running <code>fink selfupdate</code>.

<h1>Fink Downloads</h1>
<p>
There are many ways to install or upgrade Fink.
For new users, the quick start instructions below are recommended.
Otherwise, check out the <a href="overview.php">overview</a> and the
<a href="upgrade.php">upgrade matrix</a>.
</p>
<h2>Quick Start</h2>
<p>
New to Fink? These quick start instructions are here to get you up to speed
with the binary release.
</p>
<?
include "../fink_version.inc";
?>
<ol>
<li><p>
Download the installer disk image:<br>
<a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/Fink-<? print $fink_version;
?>-Installer.dmg?download">Fink
<? print $fink_version; ?> Binary Installer</a> - <? print $dmg_size; ?><br>
(10.1 users - use <a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/Fink-0.4.1-installer.dmg?download";>Fink
0.4.1</a>)
</p>
</li>
<li><p>
Double-click "Fink-<? print $fink_version; ?>-Installer.dmg" to mount the disk image,
then double-click the "Fink <? print $fink_version; ?> Installer.pkg" package
inside. Follow the instructions on screen.
</p></li>
<li><p>
At the end of the installation, a Terminal.app window will be launched,
and the pathsetup.command script will automatically be run. You will be
asked for permission before your shell's configuration files are edited.
When the script has finished, close the window are you are set to go!
</p></li>
<li><p>
If anything goes wrong during this process, you can try again by launching
pathsetup.command file which appears on the installer disk, or by
running (from the command line in a Terminal.app window)
</p><pre>open /sw/bin/pathsetup.command <RETURN></pre><p>
(This step should also be repeated by any other users on your system: each user must
run pathsetup.command in his or her own account.)
</p><p>
If pathsetup.command generates errors messages, consult the documentation,
particularly
<a href="../doc/users-guide/install.php#setup">section
2.3 "Setting Up Your Environment"</a> of the User's Guide.</p>
</li>
<li><p>
Open a new Terminal.app window and run the following: "<code>fink scanpackages; fink
index</code>", or use the included Fink Commander GUI application (which must be
placed in a real folder on your system, not run from the disk image) and run the
following commands from its menu: <em>Source->scanpackages</em> followed by
<em>Source->Tools->index</em>.
</p>
</p></li>
<li><p>Once those two commands are finished you should update the <code>fink</code>
package, in case there have been significant changes since the last point release.
After you do this you can install other packages. There are several ways to do this:
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use the included Fink Commander to select and install packages. Fink Commander
provides an easy to use GUI for Fink. This is the recommended method for new users, or
users who are not comfortable with the command line. Fink Commander has Binary and
Source menus. You should install from binaries if you don't have the Developer Tools
installed, or don't want to build packages yourself.</p>
<ul><li><p>The Fink Commander sequence to update <code>fink</code> from binaries is as
follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Binary->Update descriptions</li>
<li>Select the <code>fink</code> package.</li>
<li>Binary->Install</li>
</ol></li>
<li><p>The recommended Fink Commander sequence sequence to update <code>fink</code>is
as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Source->Selfupdate</li>
<li>Tools->Interact with Fink...
<li>Make sure "Accept default response" is selected, and click "Submit".</li>
<li><code>fink</code> and other base packages will be built and run automatically</li>
</ol></li></ul>
<p>Now that you've updated <code>fink</code>, you can install other packages.</p>
<ul>
<li>To install from binaries, select the package, and use Binary->Install.</p></li>
<li>To install from source, select the package, and use Source->Install</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use apt-get. Apt-get will fetch and install binary packages for you, saving
compiling time. You should either use this method or the Fink Commander binary method
(above) if you don't have the Developer Tools installed.</p>
<p>To update <code>fink</code> open a Terminal.app window and type <code> sudo apt-get
update ; sudo apt-get install fink</code></p>
<p>Once you've updated <code>fink</code>, you can install other packages, using the
same syntax, e.g <code>sudo apt-get install gimp</code> to install the Gimp. Note,
however, that not all fink packages are in binary form.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Install from source. To update <code>fink</code> run <code>fink selfupdate</code>.
When prompted, select option (1), "rsync". This will automatically update the
<code>fink</code> package.</p>
<p>Once <code>fink</code> is updated, you can use "<code>fink install</code>" to fetch
and compile from source code. For example, to install the Gimp, run <code>fink
install gimp</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h1>Download Overview</h1>
<p>
There are many different ways to get Fink.
This page will try to explain the various options and their
- sometimes confusing - differences.
But first, two important things to realize:
</p>
<p>
<b>Source vs. Binary Packages.</b>
A package can come in two forms: source and binary.
A binary package is a package archive that contains precompiled,
ready-to-run programs.
You can immediately use it, it just has be be downloaded and extracted
(installed).
A source package consist of the original source code, Fink-specific
patches and build instructions.
Source packages take some time to install because the source code is
compiled on your computer to produce executable programs.
</p>
<p>
<b>All Fink installations are created equal.</b>
No matter how you installed Fink, you always have the option to build
a specific package from source.
Likewise, you always have the option to install downloaded binary
packages <u>as long as Fink is installed in <tt>/sw</tt></u>.
All you have to do is use the appropriate tools and update
procedures.
</p>
<p>
So now, what are the actual options?
Here we go, from convenient to cutting edge:
</p>
<p>
The <a href="bindist.php">binary release</a> uses binary packages.
It comes with a graphical installer package for first-time
installation and a package browser and selection app (dselect).
It tracks the last source release; it usually takes some days to catch
up when a new source release is made.
Occasionally, there are updates between releases.
Updating to new releases is automatic - just ask dselect or apt-get to
fetch the latest package lists.
The downside of the binary release is that not all packages are
available as binaries.
Some don't meet our quality standards or have technical problems, some
can't be distributed due to their restrictive licenses, and some are
covered by export restrictions on cryptography.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="srcdist.php">source release</a> builds everything from
source (unless you choose otherwise) and is driven by command-line
scripts.
The source release can update itself to the latest release with the
'fink selfupdate' command.
The positive side is that you'll get all packages that have been
marked as 'stable'.
The negative sides have already been mentioned - compiling from source
takes time and you must type commands to install packages.
</p>
<p>
Actual development of the Fink distribution happens in a CVS
repository.
You can track it to stay on the cutting edge between releases.
Usage is equivalent to the source release, only that you'll get the
package descriptions through other channels.
(Read: 'fink selfupdate' doesn't work here.)
See the <a href="../doc/cvsaccess/index.php">CVS instructions</a> for
details.

<h1>The Upgrade Kit for Mac OS X 10.1</h1>
<p>
Since older versions of apt don't work on Mac OS X 10.1, here's the
special procedure to upgrade an existing Fink installation created by
the binary installer.
</p>
<p>
A very similar procedure can be used to update really old installs of
Fink 0.2.x (including MacGIMP and the first release of OpenOSX's GIMP
CD).
The only requirement is that Fink was installed in <tt>/sw</tt> and
not in any other directory.
See <a href="#oldversion">below</a>.
</p>
<h2>Fink 0.3.0 and newer</h2>
<p>
Starting with version 0.3.0, Fink is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.1.
Thus you don't have to do anything special.
</p>
<h2>Fink 0.2.4 till 0.2.6</h2>
<p>
This procedure assumes you have installed Fink with the official
binary installer.
The first such installer was based on Fink 0.2.4.
The procedure has three main steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Getting a decent apt package.
Download the
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb";>apt-0.5.4-4</a>
and
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt-shlibs_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb";>apt-shlibs-0.5.4-4</a>
packages.
In a Terminal.app window, go to the folder where you downloaded these
files and run these commands:
</p>
<pre>source /sw/bin/init.csh
sudo dpkg -i apt-shlibs_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb</pre>
<p>
(if you are using bash as your shell, source /sw/bin/init.sh instead)
</p>
<p>
Once apt is installed, use these commands to update the package
listings:
</p>
<pre>rehash
fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update</pre>
</li>
<li><p>Updating the base packages.
It's important to have the latest package management tools installed,
the ones you have on your system may be outdated.
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get install base-files gettext dpkg fink</pre>
</li>
<li><p>Updating the rest of your system.
You can do this either through <tt>dselect</tt> (recommended)
<b>or</b> with this apt command:
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get dist-upgrade</pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="oldversion">Fink 0.2.3 and older</a></h2>
<p>
This procedure assumes you have installed an old version of Fink
(0.2.1 in most cases) as part of another package, like the MacGIMP
installer or OpenOSX's GIMP installer.
The procedure has four main steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Getting decent apt and fink packages.
Download the
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb";>apt-0.5.4-4</a>
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt-shlibs_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb";>apt-shlibs-0.5.4-4</a>
and the
<a
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.4.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/fink_0.10.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb";>fink-0.10.0-1</a>
packages.
(Yes, that version number is for real.
The <tt>fink</tt> command in the fink package has separate
version numbering from the Fink distribution.)
In a Terminal.app window, go to the folder where you downloaded the
file and run these commands to install the packages:
</p>
<pre>sudo dpkg -i apt-shlibs_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i apt_0.5.4-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i fink_0.10.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb</pre>
<p>
Once they are installed, use these commands to update the package
listings:
</p>
<pre>rehash
fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update</pre>
</li>
<li><p>Updating the other base packages.
It's important to have the latest package management tools installed,
the ones you have on your system may be buggy or too old for the
current packages.
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get install base-files gettext dpkg</pre>
</li>
<li><p>Getting X11 sorted out.
Before proceeding you'll have to sort the X11 dependencies out.
With MacGIMP and OpenOSX's packages, you'll have a "manual" XFree86
install (from Fink's point of view, that is), so you should install
the <code>system-xfree86</code> package:
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get install system-xfree86</pre>
<p>
If the package complains that your XFree86 install is too old, you'll
have to update it first, then run the above command again.
</p>
</li>
<li><p>Updating the rest of your system.
You can do this either through <tt>dselect</tt> (recommended)
<b>or</b> with this apt command:
</p>
<pre>sudo apt-get dist-upgrade</pre>
</li>
</ol>

<h1>Switching to the Rsync Upgrade Method</h1>
<p>
The fink package manager now offers upgrading via rsync, as
an alternative to the CVS upgrade method. If you are having troubles
with CVS, though,
you may not be able to use the CVS method to upgrade the package
manager!
</p><p>
If you are having difficulties upgrading, you should first obtain the source
tarball for fink (version 0.14.0 or later) at
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17203";>the
SourceForge File List page for Fink</a>.
Use <code> tar xfz </code> to unpack the tarball, then <code>cd</code>
into the directory it creates, and run the command
<code>./inject.pl</code>
</p>
<p>That should install the latest package manager. After it is installed,
running the command <code>fink selfupdate-rsync</code> will switch you
to the new method. Once you have switched, you can do subsequent updates
with the simple command <code>fink selfupdate</code>

Don't extract the archive with StuffIt, it will corrupt some file
names.
Use the command line <tt>tar</tt> utility instead.
Instructions are in the Installation document.

<p>
Installation and usage instructions are inside the distribution
tarball.
Please read them - Fink is not a one-click-and-done thing.
The documents README, INSTALL and USAGE are provided as pure text (for
reading from the command line) and as HTML (for reading in a browser
and for printing).
They are also available online in the <a

<h1>Fink Upgrade Matrix</h1>
<p>
Any version of Fink since release 0.2.0 can be upgraded to the latest
release in place.
This even includes the GIMP installs from MacGIMP.com and OpenOSX.com;
the first releases of both are based on Fink 0.2.1.
The following table helps you find the best way to update your Fink
installation.
</p>
<p>
If you're unsure which version of Fink you have, run
"<code>fink --version</code>" in a Terminal window.
</p>
<p>
If you are upgrading from a Fink release prior to 0.3.1, and you have
tetex installed, you should run the command "fink remove tetex"
before upgrading. (It may also be necessary to remove the packages
which depend on tetex, such as lyx, before tetex can be removed.)
Afterwards you can again install tetex and the other packages you removed.
</p>
<?
include "../fink_version.inc";
?>
<p>
Due to the SourceForge website reorganization in spring 2002 and the move
of our binary distribution in summer 2002, upgrading has become slightly
complicated. Please be sure to follow the upgrade instructions very
carefully to ensure a successful upgrade. There are separate instructions
for binary installations and for source installations.
</p>
<p>If you are having trouble upgrading a source installation, consult
<a href="fix-upgrade.php">these special instructions.</a></p>
