Hi all

I have seen that ferret and pyferret are available in the official debian/ubuntu packages.
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/utils/ferret-vis

However, the official Ferret website provides instructions for downloading and installing Ferret manually and does not mention that at all.

Have some of you installed Ferret/PyFerret with these packages? What are the "official" recommendations?

Cheers
