+Known to work on ubuntu, mint, suse/leap, fedora, debian, centos, arch, and slackware.
+It has not been tested on every single possible distro yet so you might expect to have to make some minor changes.
+Patches have been created to build on FreeBSD through the work of another programmer and a Gentoo version is being maintained elsewhere by another programmer.
+
+Alternatively, there are some pre-built dynamic or static binaries which are updated on a fairly regular basis (as long as code changes have been made) available at the link below.
-This manual covers features or areas of Cinelerra that are different or new in the Cinelerra-GG Infinity
-version. Many of the new features were created by a lot of different people to include the original
-author and were merged in from various sources and each person is to be commended for their efforts.
-The content of this manual also came from various people/places/email and thanks to all.

-These are generic build instructions for building Cinelerra-GG Infinity. Known to work on ubuntu,
-mint, suse, fedora, debian, centos, arch, and 32-bit slackware. It has not been tested on every single
-possible distro yet so you might expect to have to make some minor changes. It has failed miserably
-on FreeBSD. At least once, a Gentoo version was successfully created.

- There are 2 kinds of builds, the default system-build and a single-user build. A system build has results
-which are installed to the system. The majority of the files are installed in the standard system paths,
-but some customization is possible. The single user build allows for running completely out of a local
-user directory so it doesn't affect the system.
-
-We recommend the single-user version when possible. It makes it very easy to install a new version
-without having to delete the older version in case you want it for backup – once you are happy with the
-new version, all you have to do is delete the entire old directory path. Also, if you install a new
-Operating System version and if you have Cinelerra on separate disk space that is preserved, you won't
-have to reinstall Cinelerra. In addition for purposes of having the ability to interrupt or to see any
-possible error messages, if you start the application from a terminal window command line you will
-have more control to catch problems. The system builds can be useful in a university lab setting where
-there are possibly multiple users, or multiple versions.
-
-There are two notable differences between “standard” views of Cinelerra and this implementation for
-the system builds. Both of these can be configured during installation. These differences make it
-possible to have several different versions installed without having them “walk” on each other.ault system-build an

\begin{enumerate}
\item
application name can be set during installation and defaults to: “\texttt{cin}”
- \item
- the home configuration directory can also be set and defaults to:\\ “\texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5}”

\paragraph{To do a system build,} you should read the \texttt{README} that is at the top level after you get the source.
\begin{enumerate}
\item
- You need at least 2.5GB of disk storage to operate a build. Need to have “\texttt{git}” installed.

\item Obviously in order to install into the system, you must run as root.
- \item The "\texttt{git}" step has to download a bunch of stuff (approx 100MB) so allow time.

\item Run the following commands (this takes awhile):

\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
-cd /<build_path>/

+cd /<build_path>/ # this is where you need the 2.5GB of disk space
git clone --depth 1 "git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git" cinelerra5
