 After compilation and installation of Swarm a set of program libraries and header files against which Swarm applications can be compiled and linked is available.

   The following text describes the Cygwin distribution of Swarm for Windows. We now strongly recommend instead the MinGW release. See [[Swarm_and_MinGW]].
 '''Windows binaries are different from previous versions!''' In Swarm 2.1.1 and earlier versions, Swarm Windows binaries were distributed as an executable file that installed Cygwin and Swarm on your computer. Swarm 2.2 is distributed by providing a special version of Cygwin that includes Swarm; this version is installed using a special version of the Cygwin setup program. Additional information and instructions are included in the [[Windows binary notes]].

 Charlie Sharpsteen built a [https://launchpad.net/~sdg-team/+archive/ubuntu/stable Swarm site on Launchpad] which provides Swarm as a Ubuntu package. As of February 2015, Swarm can be installed (at least in Ubuntu 12.04) via:

 You may need to edit /usr/etc/swarm/Makefile.common to use gcc-4.5 for CC and OBJC. Ubuntu 12.04 was a long-term support (LTS) release that should be supported until in April 2017.
