+yourself, there are pre-built dynamic or static binaries for various
+versions of Ubuntu, Mint, Suse, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, and
+Slackware linux as well as Gentoo and FreeBSD. If you do want to build it yourself so that

+A Windows 10 version installation is described in~\ref{sec:ms_windows10}. There are also 32-bit i686 Ubuntu, Debian,

+The \textbf{tars} directory contains single-user static builds for
+different distros.
+%
+This is the recommended usage of \CGG{} because all of the files

+have to install another library that is being called for.

+To install the single user builds, download the designated tarball

+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]

where there are possibly multiple users, or multiple versions.

+There are two notable differences between standard views
of \CGG{} and this implementation for the system builds. Both of
these can be configured during installation. The differences make
it possible to have several different versions installed without

\begin{enumerate}
-\item application name can be set during installation and defaults
+\item application name can be set during a build but defaults
to: \texttt{cin}
\item the home configuration directory can also be set and
traditionally defaults to: \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5}
the \texttt{Exec=cin} line to be
\texttt{Exec=<your\_directory\_path>/bin/cin}.
-The preceding directions for doing a single-user build have been
-meticulously followed to build and run on a newly installed ubuntu
-15 system WITHOUT BEING ROOT except for the \texttt{bld\_prepare.sh}

-git log # shows a list of versions
+git log # shows a list of versions depending on history depth specification
git checkout <version> # choose a version number as listed
\end{lstlisting}

file in that same directory.
-The reason that Cin Infinity traditionally uses thirdparty builds

libraries. However, some users prefer using their current system
