This is a summary of the installation of the set of tools outlined above that should work in most cases. This procedure will put all of the tool repository sources into a directory under the user's home directory called gits. Everything in the instructions is executed by commands on the Linux command line in a terminal. Comment lines start with echo so that they can be cut and pasted into the terminal without causing errors.
