 You should be able to run GSAS-II with Python and packages from your Linux dist, though sometimes those package versions are so new that you will discover incompatibilities that we have not yet seen. To avoid that you can use the Anaconda Python installer, which is included in the {{{gsas2full-Latest-Linux-x86_64.sh}}} file referenced in [#OptionI.Installingtheeasyway Option I] above. 
 
-One problem we have seen with this comes from not running the installer properly. Please make sure you are typing {{{bash}}} correctly and leaving a space between that and the file name, also be sure you are allowed to write files to the location you choose for installation. If starts but does not complete, delete the previous installation directory before trying again.

 Running the bootstrap.py file should update GSAS-II to the latest version and complete any remaining installation steps and will. Note that this script requests the name of a proxy server. For most people, none is needed and they should simply use the the default by  pressing return. However, some sites block web traffic unless it is passed through a particular computer. If needed, enter that computer name or IP address here (e.g. proxyout.lanl.gov); you will be then be requested to also supply a port number, which defaults to 8080. If you are able to download files but updates fail, see the discussion of [ProxyInfo web proxies].
