Binaries and Installation

OpenBUGS for Windows abe downloaded as a .zip file from here. The source code comes with the installation: check the readme notes to see how to compile the code. you will need to install Black Box as well.

Instructions for LinBUGS (which may or may not still work):

Errrm, run it through WINE! Getting BUGS to run under Linux has been an interesting experience, and something we still hope to accomplish.

Installation Instructions for Windows:

1. Unzip into a directory (e.g. C:\Program Files), you will find everything in the OpenBUGS subdirectory.
2. You can start WinBUGS by double-clicking on winbugs.exe. It is worth creating a shortcut to this from your desktop.
3. There is an equivalent of LinBUGS for Windows called ClassicBUGS. This can be run by clicking on the ClassicBUGS icon. This version requires the Cygwin1.dll to work.

Installation Instructions for BRugs:

Instructions: Install the BRugs package from R, as you would any other package!
