Three different ways of installing OpenSim on linux?

Good evening,
I am trying to install the OpenSim API on my Ubuntu machine and from what I can tell there seem to be about three different ways to do it:
1. You can do it this way:
http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... +Platforms
2. Or this way:
http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... Id=5114489
3. Or clone the git repository:
https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim-core and follow the installation instructions there.
4. Or create a vm:
http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... al+Machine
Now if you're not doing it the vm way, then I understand that the GUI can be run in linux via wine. But you still need an API, hence; which of the many ways are we linux users supposed to use?
Thanks

You should use either the instructions on
this page or on github.

Why there is no GUI in linux? where can I get the source for the GUI? I thought this can be done using QT/VTK.

The GUI repo is currently private. We are working on resolving some licensing issues and plan to make it public soon.

Hi,
it is alredy one year. Is there any update about the situation of the GUI opensource?
If not I am planning to start a GUI development using Qt for academic research purposes. Using Qt makes the GUI works in different platforms e.g. Windows, Linux, and MAc. Your experience and support will be highly appreciated. I would like to know also if there are already some efforts in this way and how many people are interested.
Regards!

Yes, the GUI repo is public and can be found here:
https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim-gui.

The next version of OpenSim (4.0, currently in testing) is designed to also work on Mac and Linux. A partial list of the development efforts on 4.0 can be found here:

Hello Thomas!
I will start working (seriously) in OpenSim very soon. I have already seen the version 4 available to download for Windows and Mac. Do you recommend building the GUI and Core for Ubuntu right now, or maybe wait until there is an installer for that?
Thanks a lot for the time and see you later.

There is no plan to have a linux installer at this time- you will need to use the instructions to build from source.
