Just download the archive, unpack it, and run the application. Interesting to me, bibisco is a self-contained Java application that ships with a built-in Java runtime engine (JRE), so you don't need to install or upgrade to any particular version on your system. It's licensed under the GPLv2, and freely downloadable from the website, with builds for Windows and 32- or 64-bit Linux. The application is a personal project of Andrea Feccomandi, who is its sole author. The writing bug bit me again recently, so I started seeking alternatives and came across bibisco. It's frustrating and hard to keep track of all the details! It was inefficient, and once I got up around 15,000 words, almost useless, to the point that work on the novel has stalled for the last several months. So I muddled along for a year or so, starting my novel with a pair of LibreOffice Writer documents: one for the novel, and one for my notes on people, places and things, along with some ASCII sketches and a folder full of pictures and scans of drawings I'd made. I looked into it, but it was kind of pricey-and the license was such that to use it on my Windows PC and my MacBook, I'd need to buy it twice, which did not appeal to me at all. Among the attendees there was a lot of talk of using Scrivener as a tool for organizing your writing, and as a place to keep your details.
