| 1 | To download SINGULAR for a Unix platform |
|---|
| 2 | ======================================== |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | Make sure that you have approximately 12MByte of free disk space and |
|---|
| 5 | follow these steps. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | 1. You need to download two (archive) files: |
|---|
| 8 | `Singular-1-3-7-share.tgz' |
|---|
| 9 | contains architecture independent data like documentation and |
|---|
| 10 | libraries (alternatively, you may also download |
|---|
| 11 | `Singular-1-3-7-share.zip'). |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | `Singular-1-3-7-<uname>.tgz' |
|---|
| 14 | contains architecture dependent executables, like the SINGULAR |
|---|
| 15 | program. `<uname>' is a description of the processor and |
|---|
| 16 | operating system for which SINGULAR is compiled. Choose one of the |
|---|
| 17 | following: |
|---|
| 18 | `ix86-Linux' PC's running under Linux |
|---|
| 19 | `HPUX-9' HP workstations running under HPUX version 9 |
|---|
| 20 | `HPUX-10' HP workstations running under HPUX version 10 |
|---|
| 21 | Please contact us if you can not find an appropriate architecture |
|---|
| 22 | dependent archive. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | 2. Simply change to the directory in which you wish to install |
|---|
| 25 | SINGULAR (usually wherever you install 3rd-party software): |
|---|
| 26 | cd /usr/local/ |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | SINGULAR specific subdirectories will be created in such a way |
|---|
| 29 | that multiple versions and multiple architecture dependent files |
|---|
| 30 | of SINGULAR can peaceably coexist under the same `/usr/local/' |
|---|
| 31 | tree. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | 3. Unpack the archives: |
|---|
| 34 | gzip -dc Singular-1-3-7-<uname>.tgz | tar -pxf - |
|---|
| 35 | gzip -dc Singular-1-3-7-share.tgz | tar -pxf - |
|---|
| 36 | If you have downloaded `Singular-1-3-7-share.zip', unpack with |
|---|
| 37 | unzip -u Singular-1-3-7-share.zip |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | 4. After unpacking, see the created file `Singular/1-3-7/INSTALL' for |
|---|
| 40 | details on how to finish the installation. |
