Option 2 - easy install on some flavors of *nix

FreeBSD users can find install jEdit from the ports collection by running:
```
cd /usr/ports/editors/jedit
make install
```
Gentoo Linux users can install jEdit from the portage tree by running emerge jedit.
To install jEdit via Debian Linux apt-get (this is also for any Debian based Distros like Ubuntu), add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
```
deb https://<mirror>.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jedit /
*/?>
```
e. g.
```
deb https://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jedit /
*/?>
```
Then, just run apt-get update, followed by apt-get install jeditapt-get source jedit*/?>.

The repository is now also secured and signed. To verify the packages you have to install the public key with which the repository is signed. This can be done by invoking apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E6A233DBE3AFBEFC

If you prefer manual installation of .deb files you can also download the Debian package manually.
If you use apt4rpm, urpmi, or a similar tool with an RPM-based Linux distribution, you can automatically stay up to date with the latest version of jEdit using the JPackage RPM repository.
