 +To make the process a little simpler we have an application to download, build and install packages: sepkg. It supports queue files, and will even download the queues from our server if needed.
  
-There are a few ways of installing studioware applications. We have both pre-built packages and slackbuild scripts that create packages from source.+You will need around 12GB of free space to build all the packages in a full install.
  
-To make the process a little simpler we have two applications to download and install them: studiopkg for packages, and sepkg for building from slackbuilds. They both support queue files, and will even download the queues from our server if needed.+===== 1) Preinstallation Tasks =====
  
-===== 1) Preparing Studiopkg and Sepkg =====+  * Install JDK or OpenJDK. AlienBob has packages here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/ This is for portmidi. You may need to log out and in again after installing jdk. 
 +  * Create Avahi user and group (for 14.2 onward): 
 +    * groupadd -g 214 avahi\\ 
 +    * useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi\\ 
 +    * Install fltk (for audio/yoshimi) from extra.\\

-The ARCH is worked out automatically. +

-When using studiopkg it will check the package md5 and gpg. If these are wrong you may need to retry the download and/or delete the cache using the delete-cache option. It will prompt for retry download. If it keeps throwing up an error then please contact us with the details.+

-====== Going Further ====== 
- 
-===== Queue Operations ===== 
- 
- 
-Queues are the best way to handle installation as they can be adjusted as needed and it saves trying to remember options etc. 
- 
-It is possible to use queues locally via shell redirection, or remote queues downloaded from our server. Note that our premade queues are in sbopkg format and have the .sqf extension, but for local queues any filename can be used. 
- 
-==== Queue Examples ==== 
- 
- 
-Local queues: 
- 
-studiopkg -i < kdenlive.sqf\\ 
-sepkg -i < kdenlive.queue 
- 
-This will download the appropriate files one at a time and build and/or install them. 
- 
-**Note that it is probably a good idea to set noclobber in your shell, or accidently using '>' instead of '<' will wipe the queue file. For bash use 'set noclobber' and for zsh use 'setopt noclobber'.** 
- 
-Remote queues: 
- 
-studiopkg -q kdenlive\\ 
-sepkg -q kdenlive\\ 
-studiopkg -q video\\ 
-studiopkg -q full\\ 
-sepkg -q video\\ 
- 
-We have queues for whole sections of packages - full, video, audio, photo (You don't need to specify the extension as .sqf is assumed). This makes it much easier to set up a machine with a categories of packages in one shot. The queues are on both our ftp and in git, so they can be downloaded manually and adjusted if need be. 
- 
-==== Build Options ==== 
- 
- 
-sepkg queues can take build options: 
- 
-In the queue specify options after the application name: 
- 
-ardour WIIMOTE=yes 
- 
-To find out which build options are avaliable it is necesary to read the README or the SlackBuild in our git repo for the specific application. COMING SOON: We will have a list of applications and their directory branches to make finding them easier. 
- 
-===== Other Operations ===== 
- 
- 
-studiopkg can clean our packages from the system with either: 
- 
-studiopkg clean\\ 
-studiopkg clean-system 
- 
-A dialog window will popup asking which ones to clean. This is similar to the way slackpkg works except it will ONLY list packages with our 'se' tag, so no other extra packages will be listed. 
- 
-A full list of operations and options can be found here: 
- 
-http://studioware.org/studiopkg\\ 
-http://studioware.org/sepkg 
- 
-===== Slackpkg and sbopkg ===== 
- 
- 
-It is possible to download and build/install using slackpkg (with the slackpkg+ plugin) and sbopkg. You will notice that our own tools are similar in some ways, but there are differences. For example, sbopkg has many more features for setting options, building queues etc. One main difference though is in the way that our tools handle queues of categories.  
- 
-We recommend using our tools for installing whole categories as they were designed with this in mind and simplify the process of getting a machine up and running. 
- 
-Later, either slackpkg or sbopkg can be used to search, build or install applications. A howto on setting up slackpkg and sbopkg can be found here: http://docs.slackware.com/studioware:slackpkg_sbopkg
