Introduction

  • These pages are:

    • intended to cover download, installation and maintenance issues for our software,

    • written mainly for the use of systems managers and software installers rather than normal users.

  • This particular set of pages are "Generic" and supplied as files with the software as: 

$BDG_home/docs/installation/index.html
Tip The Generic page does not have a download section and the initial installation section has been removed (because to see the page you must have downloaded and done the initial install).

Licence conditions

Please note this version of BUSTER is for academic users and its download, installation and use is conditional on acceptance of the licence conditions. Please carefully review these licence conditions before download, installation or use.
