##Installing tuxpaint distribution binary packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux distributions contain FOSS software binary packages. Distributors take the source code of lots of FOSS packages, compile them, package them and make them available for installation. Although the source code is available, most users don't need to access it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. To install `tuxpaint` from a binary package, run `sudo apt install tuxpaint`.
|
|
|
2. Once installed, run `tuxpaint`. Note the version number on the splash screen.
|
|
|
3. Quit tuxpaint.
