| Get Going With DocBook: Notes for Hackers | ||

Follow these instructions for your favourite platform, either UNIX (free tools), Win32 (free tools) or FrameMaker+SGML.
On UNIX we are distributing these tools as RPM packages, providing a binary distribution for intel-baesd GNU/Linux systems, and a source distribution for others [FIXME: must clear this up a bit].
Here is an example of a UNIX session to get and install the free DocBook tool set on a GNU/Linux system. The tools can be found at this location [FIXME: the DSSSL for printed output does the wrong thing with ulink.]
$ ncftp ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/home/rosalia/
ncftp> cd docware/RPMS/i386/
ncftp> mget *.rpm
ncftp> quit
$ su

![]() | The order of installing packages is important. |
![]() | When you are upgrading, rather than installing for the first time, the rpm --install steps should be replaced with rpm --upgrade. |
You are now ready to edit SGML/DocBook documents.
