−	~~Grab the appropriate~~ binary ~~from~~ the ~~download site for your system and run~~ it!	+	A binary release is simply a fully packaged version of GeoQO with all the needed software prerequistes bundled with it. It is the easiest and fastest to get up and running.

−	~~Download from: [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id~~=~~177773 the download repository]~~	+	== Steps Required ==

−	Grab the ~~package called~~ geoqo-'''~~SYSTEM~~'''~~.bin~~ and ~~run it, where~~ '''~~SYSTEM~~''' is the ~~operating system you use (eg~~, "linux").	+	# Grab the geoqo-linux file from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177773 the download repository]
		+	# Make it executable (see below)
		+	# Run it!
		+
		+	== Making the download executable ==
		+
		+	When you [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177773 download] the geoqo-linux binary it will not be something you can run just by clicking on it (this is for your safety to prevent you from downloading malicious programs).
		+
		+	=== Making it executable in a shell ===
		+
		+	If you like working with a command line:
		+
		+	# cd Desktop (or wherever you saved it)
		+	# chmod a+x geoqo-linux
		+
		+	=== Making it executable from the Desktop ===
		+
		+	The below assumes you saved geoqo-linux to the Desktop. If you saved it to a folder, the procedure will still be similar but the screenshots won't be quite the same. These screenshots are taken from the default [[Ubuntu]] desktop which makes use of the [[Gnome]] Desktop environment. Your menus may look different, especially if you're using the [[KDE]] desktop (screenshots for that needed).

		+	'''Step 1:''' Right click on the geoqo-linux icon and select the ''properties'' menu item:

		+	[[image:properties.png]]
		+
		+	'''Step 2:''' When the properties dialog box comes up, use the ''permissions'' tab to make it executable:
		+
		+	[[image:execute.png]]
		+
		+	'''Step 3:''' Double click on the geoqo-linux icon to run it! See the [[Tutorial]] for more information on using geoqo.
