         Installation of Singular from the CD

Do not try to use the Finder for the installation!

After inserting the CD open a terminal (under /Applications/Utilities) and 
type the following commands (you need an Admin Account):

cd /usr/local

sudo tar -xvzf /Volumes/CDROM/MAC/OSX/Singular-3-0-3-ppcMac-darwin.tar.gz

sudo tar -xvzf /Volumes/CDROM/MAC/OSX/Singular-3-0-3-share.tar.gz

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/Singular/3-0-3/ppcMac-darwin/Singular /usr/local/bin/Singular-3-0-3

The first two commands unpack the tar.gz files and copy the Singular
files (binaries and documentation, libs, etc) to /usr/local/Singular/3-0-3.

The last command creates a link in /usr/local/bin so that you can just type
Singular-3-0-3
to run Singular in any terminal.

directory for alternatives).
