-
-The usual way to obtain pspp is described here:
-@uref{https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html}. This appendix
-describes ways to update to newer released pspp versions. For building
-development versions: @xref{BuildDevel,,Building Development Versions}.

@cindex installation
@cindex @pspp{}, installing
(optional) Type @samp{make clean} to delete the @pspp{} binaries
from the source tree.

-More detailed instructions for building from source including the
-installation of required libraries can be found here:

-@section Updating the pspp package in Linux distributions
-Linux distributions like Debian or Ubuntu make a release by taking the
-pspp package version which is in the rolling testing (sid) stage at the
-time of freezing the linux release. The pspp versions which are the default
-version for a specific linux distribution release are listed here:
-
-@itemize
-@item Debian: @uref{https://packages.debian.org/pspp}
-@item Ubuntu: @uref{https://packages.ubuntu.com/pspp}
-@end itemize
-
-Debian stretch for example contains pspp 0.10.2. There are a number of
-possibilities to update the pspp version inside a linux distribution.
-
-@subsection Backports
-
-Sometimes a backport of a newer pspp version is available for an older
-distribution. Instructions how to install backports
-can be found here @uref{https://backports.debian.org/Instructions} for
-Debian. This is the easiest way to have an updated version.
-
-@subsection Ubuntu PPA
-For Ubuntu Adam Zammit maintains a PPA with several updates of pspp.
-Installation via a PPA is similar to a backports install. See:
-@uref{https://launchpad.net/~adamzammit/+archive/ubuntu/pspp}.
-
-@subsection Building an updated pspp package
-
-If you wish to use a newer pspp version than the one provided with
-the distribution or possibly a backport, then there is a good chance
-that you can generate a new updated pspp package for your linux distribution release
-from the package source of a later distribution release. The latest
-pspp package for Debian is in sid (unstable). It is not advisable to
-take a binary package from a later distribution because the interface to
-the required libraries may have changed. Therefore you take the package
-source instead of the package binary and then compile a new pspp package for your
-linux distribution.
-
-Assume you want to create a new pspp package for Debian jessie. Jessie
-has pspp version 0.8.4 as the default version. Assume that Debian unstable
-contains the pspp version 1.0.1. Add the line
-@example
-deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main
-@end example
-to the file @code{/etc/apt/sources.conf}. This will make the package
-sources of the packages in unstable available for apt-get.
-
-Then download the pspp package sources from the unstable distribution.
-
-@example
-mkdir tmp
-cd tmp
-sudo apt-get update
-apt-get source pspp/unstable
-@end example
-
-After this step you will have the files
-
-@example
-pspp_1.0.1-1.dsc
-pspp_1.0.1-1.debian.tar.xz
-pspp_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz
-@end example
-
-and the directory
-
-@example
-pspp-1.0.1
-@end example
-
-in your directory. Now you can install the package
-dependencies with
-
-@example
-sudo apt-get build-dep pspp/unstable
-@end example
-
-And then you can build and test your pspp package with
-
-@example
-cd pspp-1.0.1
-debuild -us -uc
-cd ..
-@end example
-After this step you have the binary pspp package
-@example
-pspp_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
-@end example
-in your directory and you can install the package with
-@example
-sudo dpkg -i pspp_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
-@end example
-You can uninstall the package as usual with
-@example
-sudo apt-get remove pspp
-@end example
-This procedure is preferable vs. the @xref{InstallUnix, Plain Source Installation}
-because the package and all data can be uninstalled the usual way and
-the prerequisites can be installed the usual way via apt-get.
