29 | To download Singular for Unix platforms: |
---|
30 | ======================================== |
---|
31 | You need at least the following two files: |
---|
32 | Singular-1.2.0-share.tar.gz |
---|
33 | Singular-1.2.0-<uname description>.tar.gz |
---|
34 | where <uname description> is a description of the processor and operating |
---|
35 | system for which Singular is compiled (e.g, ix86-Linux). Please |
---|
36 | contact us if you can not find an appropriate architecture-dependent |
---|
37 | tar file. |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | Simply cd to the directory in which you wish to install SINGULAR, |
---|
40 | and then unpack the architecture independent tar file, followed by |
---|
41 | the architecture-dependent files for those architectures you use: |
---|
42 | |
---|
43 | cd /usr/local/ # or wherever you install 3rd-party software |
---|
44 | gzip -dc Singular-1.2.0-share.tar.gz | tar -pxf - |
---|
45 | gzip -dc Singular-1.2.0-<uname description>.tar.gz | tar -pxf - |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | You may replace `/usr/local/' with what you like, but refer to the |
---|
48 | INSTALL file which is contained in the architecture-dependent tar file |
---|
49 | (and which you can find at ./Singular/INSTALL after unpacking) for |
---|
50 | detailed information on how to install Singular. |
