Installing The Sword Project

I found installing Sword from source to be problematic on both Mac and Linux. Thankfully, I found hidden in some documentation that it is available through common repositories. Unfortunately, the documentation was not thorough. Here's what worked for me on Mac OSX 10.9.5 and Linux Mint 17.3 "Rosa". These instructions should work on any recent version of Mac and any flavor of Ubuntu.

Installing Sword Package

The process for installing Sword differs a bit between Mac and Linux. I used Homebrew on Mac, but MacPorts should work just fine. Linux was a little less friendly, but I did get it working.

Overview

Below is a comparison from one of the resources I used. I don't think the comparison is done using the same hardware, but the big take away is that Windows without WSL is a no-go, and Windows WSL underperforms for Linux on bare metal and even Virtual Linux on a Windows Guest. I still have to do this comparison myself using my Udoo with dualboot.

System	Performance
Mac Mini 2012 Core i5 10GB RAM	217.6 sec
Windows WSL	335 sec
Linux Mint Bare Metal	182.4 sec
VirtualBox	124 sec

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j
