Stable WED binaries for Windows and Mac can be downloaded from [http://scenery.x-plane.com/tools.php scenery.x-plane.com]. A development version is available through: [http://dev.x-plane.com/download/tools/ dev.x-plane.com]. | Stable WED binaries for Windows and Mac can be downloaded from [http://scenery.x-plane.com/tools.php scenery.x-plane.com].

In order to work with WED without installing X-Plane, one needs to create a special <tt>Custom Scenery</tt> directory, for example <tt>X-Plane/Custom Scenery</tt>. When launching WED for the first time, click the "Choose X-Plane folder" directory and select the folder that your <tt>Custom Scenery</tt> houses in (in our example: <tt>X-Plane</tt>). | In order to work with WED without installing X-Plane, one needs to create a special <tt>Custom Scenery</tt> directory, for example <tt>X-Plane/Custom Scenery</tt>.

=== Linux === | |||
Because there is no (useable) binary available for Linux based operating systems, the user has to compile it from source. Don't be afraid of that, since it brings most of its dependencies along, it is not hard. However, some things need to be provided by the user's system: | |||
* binutils and binutils-devel | |||
* [[git]] | |||
* GNU coreutils | |||
* GNU make | |||
* libmpfr-devel | |||
* mesa-libGL-devel and mesa-libGLU-devel | |||
* qt4-devel | |||
Downloading WED's source (about 170 MiB) is done via <tt>git</tt>: | |||
git clone http://dev.x-plane.com/git/xptools.git xptools.git | |||
cd xptools.git | |||
Afterwards WED's dependencies have to be downloaded (about 260 MiB) and compiled. These steps have to be done only once, before compiling WED the first time: | |||
git submodule update --init | |||
cd libs | |||
make -j2 | |||
cd .. | |||
Compiling WED: | |||
conf=release_opt make -j2 WED | |||
As on [[#Mac/Windows|Mac/Windows]] WED needs a certain working directory <tt>some_name/Custom Scenery</tt>. Assuming your self made scenery stuff lives (/is going to be) in <tt>~/FGscenery-workbench</tt>, create a directory: | |||
mkdir -p ~/FGscenery-workbench/Custom\ Scenery | |||
Choose <tt>FGscenery-workbench</tt> as "X-PLANE FOLDER" the first time you start WED: | |||
build/Linux/release_opt/WED | |||
You may now copy the file <tt>build/Linux/release_opt/WED</tt> to <tt>~/bin</tt> or another location within your $PATH environment variable: | |||
cp build/Linux/release_opt/WED ~/bin | |||
