FINK

• Download Fink binary from http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php and install it
• Make sure that your home directory (~) contains a .bash_profile file which contains the following line:

  The init.sh script adds /sw/bin to the $PATH environment variable, among other things.
  If such a file does not exist, create it.

• Go to the directory, which you have saved the script to, or to your Desktop
• chmod +x the Gtk2 script
• Run it by typing ./<mygtkscript>
