<tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> is a Bash script that takes care of downloading and compiling FlightGear and related software from their source code repositories with just one command execution<ref name="just-one-command">Due to technical problems on the [https://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge] side, this is currently only true once you have an [[FGData]] clone. See [[User:Rominet|here]] for details.</ref> for both 32-bit and 64-bit [https://www.debian.org/ Debian]-based systems. Pre-existing versions (if any) of the software installed by <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> are not touched at all since the script downloads, builds and installs everything under the directory in which it is launched. You can choose the particular components to download, build and install.

Unless told not to do so, <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> installs packages with <tt>apt-get</tt>. For this reason, it is primarily useful on Debian-based distributions. However, if one disables package installation (using <code>-pn</code> or <code>--sudo=echo</code>) and installs the corresponding dependencies oneself, it can be useful on other Unix-like systems as well—one of the FlightGear developers apparently uses it under [https://www.openbsd.org/ OpenBSD].
