 ====== LinBPQ Installation using apt ======
-This process is suitable for Debian-based operating systems, e.g. Debian, Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu.
+This is the way which OARC recommends installing LinBPQ.
+It is suitable for Debian-based operating systems, e.g. Debian, Raspberry Pi OS. It does not ship for Ubuntu (yet?).
 This page and the package it refers to are NOT the first party documentation or packaging for LinBPQ.
-**This process is only fully tested for a clean installation where BPQ has not been manually installed in the past using some other means. There are some high level instructions at the bottom of this page. If you aren't sure, stop and seek help.**

-===== Preparation =====
-**Do this once, only.**
-Our very own Hibby MM0RFN, also a Debian maintainer, has kindly packaged and is maintaining various Linux packet radio software, among them LinBPQ.
-There are two ways of installing the repo: script or manually line.
-==== Option 1: Script ====
-The script requires dowloaded, set to executable and run and is a little simpler than the manual setup - thanks to John M5ET for writing it!
-I strongly recommend you read through it **before** running it - it should look similar to the manual method below.
-**General computer security advice is to not blindly run scripts you downloaded from the internet!**
-Download the script from: [[https://guide.hibbian.org/static/files/setup.sh]]
-Lines you can run in the command line are:
-<code>
-cd /tmp
-wget https://guide.hibbian.org/static/files/setup.sh
-chmod +x /tmp/setup.sh
-sudo bash /tmp/setup.sh
-</code>
-==== Option 2: Manually ====
-To manually install, you need to download the repo .deb for your OS and install it:
-* Bullseye: <http://repo.hibbian.org/packetrepo/pool/main/h/hibbian-archive-keyring/hibbian-archive-keyring_20240924~packetrepo11+2_all.deb>\\
-* Bookworm: <http://repo.hibbian.org/packetrepo/pool/main/h/hibbian-archive-keyring/hibbian-archive-keyring_20240924~packetrepo11+2_all.deb>\\
-* Trixie: <http://repo.hibbian.org/packetrepo/pool/main/h/hibbian-archive-keyring/hibbian-archive-keyring_20240924~packetrepo~TRIXIE+2_all.deb>\\
-it should be a case of, for example:
-<code>
-wget http://repo.hibbian.org/packetrepo/pool/main/h/hibbian-archive-keyring/hibbian-archive-keyring_20240924~packetrepo~TRIXIE+2_all.deb
-sudo apt install ./hibbian-archive-keyring_20240924~packetrepo~TRIXIE+2_all.deb
-</code>
-===== Installation =====
-After following the above steps, to install LinBPQ, run the below commands:
-<code>
+Follow this guide: https://guide.hibbian.org/install/bpq/
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install linbpq
-</code>
-LinBPQ runs as a background service and requires a config file - see the next sections for details.
-===== Configuration =====
+===== Tips =====
 A default config file will be placed at ''/etc/bpq32.cfg'' before bpq will start.
