      linux/{lib,bin}  <---- binaries matching the selected 64-bit/32-bit flavour of ROOT
      linux-m32/{lib,bin}  <---- limited function 32-bit binaries for 32-bit frontend machines, build by "make linux32"
      linux-m64/{lib,bin}  <---- limited function 64-bit binaries (only needed if ROOT and linux/bin are 32-bit)
      linux-crosscompile/{lib,bin}  <---- cross-compiled limited function binaries for PPC and ARM frontends (see Makefile)

=== Installing MIDAS ===
There are two sets of instructions for installing MIDAS:
* mkdir $HOME/packages
* Logout and login again, for .cshrc or bash changes to take effect


* cd $HOME/packages
* [[Quickstart Linux]]
* git clone https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas
* [[Setup_MIDAS_experiment|MIDAS installation instructions for TRIUMF experiments]]
* git clone https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/mxml
* (IF BITBUCKET IS DOWN) git clone -v --progress http://daq.triumf.ca/~daqweb/git/mxml.git
* (IF BITBUCKET IS DOWN) git clone -v --progress http://daq.triumf.ca/~daqweb/git/midas.git
* cd midas
* make
* (only if needed) make linux32 ### build the 32-bit MIDAS libraries on 64-bit machine
* ls -l linux/bin/odbedit ### check that odbedit has been created (do not run it yet)


If the simple procedure listed above does not work, see our [[Installation/Compilation problems|Common Installation Problems]].
There is a page dealing with common problems:


=== Setup a MIDAS experiment ===
* [[Installation/Compilation problems|Common Installation Problems]]
See [[Setup_MIDAS_experiment|MIDAS installation instructions for TRIUMF experiments]] for further information.


=== Quick Start ===
For TRIUMF experiments, there are pages dealing with recommended configurations and packages for DAQ machines running Linux:
