Installation

Install a DANSE INS package binary distribution:

Ubuntu 14.04

  $ # add danse.ins repository. only need to be done once for all danse.ins packages
  $ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/danse/ins/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
  $ # install a package. replace pkg-name with something like danse.ins.dsm or histogram
  $ sudo apt-get install pkg-name

Fedora 21

  $ # add danse.ins repository. only need to be done once for all danse.ins packages
  $ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/danse/ins/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
  $ # install a package. replace pkg-name with something like danse.ins.dsm or histogram
  $ sudo yum install pkg-name
