Easy installation! Optimal BPM tools has a .deb-repository!

A PPA was recently created to drastically simplify installation on Ubuntu platform.

From launchpad.net PPA in Ubuntu:
.................................

Execute the following commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nicklasb/optimalbpm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install optimalbpm-tools

From launchpad.net PPA in Debian(Jessie and onward):
....................................................

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list. The wildcard is there as the there are no matching distro names in
launchpad.net, this way it takes what it gets. It it the same package anyway.

First, using a privileged user, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nicklasb/optimalbpm/ubuntu * main

Then execute these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install optimalbpm-tools

Notes for Debian:
1. the root user can be replaced by any other sufficiently privileged user
2. there is a non-standard unicode character in the maintainer's name, this might cause problems if you have an old locale.

LANG=C.UTF-8
