Installing RepRap on your computer
Under construction.
Start by downloading all the RepRap files from Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/reprap/
There are a number of files and packages from the project available there, but the main download (which is about 65 MB) will have a name like reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip. That is the main Sourceforge download for RepRap; nnnnnn is the name of the current RepRap machine and yyyymmdd is the date of the release. The package currently supports 32-bit Linux and Microsoft Windows. We are working on adding Mac and 64-bit versions.

Linux Installation
You can install and use RepRap in your own file-space under Linux. If you want it to be available system-wide to all users (see below), you will need superuser privileges.
In your own space
Unzip the downloaded file:
$ unzip reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip
This will create a directory called reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.
