I got lost in the instructions. It has to be so simple a monkey can do it. The internal dialogue might go like this: Flow based programming, that sounds interesting, let's have a look. github, hmmm. let's read on. grable, hmmmm, maven hmmmm. eclipse, hmmmmmm crap, what else is there......

It is all about curb appeal and a welcoming front door.

This is what I did:- Instructions for Linux Monkeys.

  1. Go to http://search.maven.org
  2. Search for DrawFBP.
  3. Download the .tar file
  4. Create FBP folder
  5. Extract .tar to FBP
  6. Open terminal
  7. cd FBP/drawfbp-2.13.4/bin
  8. ./drawfbp

Add screenshots and versions for Mac and 'doze.

Sounds good! I assume .tar is very similar to .zip...?

Why don't I just put it in the Readme? (I couldn't do it before because DrawFBP wasn't on Maven!)

What's 'doze?

Yes, linux monkey's distrust of Microsoft. I affectionately use M$ for Microsoft, and Doze for Windows. Don't get me wrong, I 'grew' up with Dos and Windows, but when they started lying about no dos in doze 95, I started leaving. Need the other 2 simple instruction, i.e. M$ and Mac. 3 column table near the top.
