 Most GSAS-II testing is done with Windows and Macs (sorry), but we do some testing of GSAS-II on Linux 
 and it does work as far as we are aware. Please do report problems, since we can't fix what we don't know about ([https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS#Bugs see here]), but cannot promise to test with a specific Linux dist. 
+
+There are many, many versions of Linux and some are too new or old and will not have compatible .so libraries with either the GSAS-II code and/or Python. Sometimes installing compatibily libraries are needed. How to do this is best determined with a Google search relevant you your Linux dist. 
+If you are able to download the ```gsas2full-Latest-Linux-x86_64.sh``` file, but the install does not run properly, you may not be executing the bash command 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.

+== Rerunning bootstrap.py == 
+
+With gsas2full-Latest-Linux-x86_64.sh and the conda gsas2pkg installers from January 2021 and later, the installer creates file {{{<condapath>/start_G2_bootstrap.sh}}} which can be run in bash to launch the bootstrap process. Otherwise a command like this is needed:
+{{{
+~/g2full/bin/python ~/g2full/GSASII/bootstrap.py
+}}}
+changing the prefix ```~/g2full/``` to reflect your choice for {{{<condapath>}}}. 
+
+If GSAS-II is installed, this will complete any remaining installation steps and will update GSAS-II to the latest version. 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].
