This page contains instructions on how to install or upgrade your PelROOT distribution. Please be aware that not all versions are released for all the supported operating systems because I try to release a new distribution as soon as I fix some bug and sometimes many of the fixes or improvements affect only one of the distribution.Please follow the instructions for the corresponding operating system you want to install PelROOT.
