Installing Singular 3-x-x on a Linux/Unix platform (manually via RPMs)

Make sure that you have approximately 20 MByte of free disk space under /usr/local/ and follow these steps:

1. There are the following Singular RPM packages:
   • Singular-core-3.x.x-x.i386.rpm (requires shared libraries)
     Singular (dynamically linked) executables Singular and ESingular
   • Singular-core-static-3.x.x-x.i386.rpm (does not require shared libraries)
     Singular (statically linked) executables Singular and ESingular
   • Singular-release-3.x.x-x.noarch.rpm
     Singular release files and package configuration
   • Singular-libs-3.x.x-x.noarch.rpm
     Singular libraries
   • Singular-help-3.x.x-x.noarch.rpm
     Singular documentation and examples
   • Singular-icons-3.x.x-x.noarch.rpm
     Singular desktop icons

2. Choose the RPM packages you need and download them from here.

3. To install or deinstall RPM packages, you need to log in as a superuser (type su in a command shell and enter the root password).

4. As a superuser, you can install the Singular RPM packages using a graphical RPM frontend like e.g. gnorpm under Gnome or kpackage under KDE. (Under Gnome or KDE, simply double-click on the icon of a Singular RPM package to start the standard RPM application.)

   Alternatively, you can use the RPM command line tool rpm. To install an RPM package Singular....rpm using rpm, type

   rpm -ivh Singular....rpm in a command shell.
