12Make sure that you have approximately 20 MByte of free disk space and follow
13these steps.
14
15@enumerate
16@item
17You need to download two (archive) files:
18@table @code
19@item a:
20Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz
21contains architecture independent data like documentation and libraries
22@item b:
23Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz
24contains architecture dependent executables, like the @sc{Singular}
25program.
26@end table
27@code{<uname>} is a description of the processor and operating
28system for which @sc{Singular} is compiled. Choose one of the following:
29@multitable @columnfractions .2 .8
30@item @code{ix86-Linux}
31@tab PC's running under Linux with a current @code{libc} version.
32@item @code{ix86-Win}
33@tab PC's running Windows 95/98/NT/2K/XP/Vista which have Cygwin version 1.0 (or
34higher) already installed. Unless you are familiar with Cygwin, we
35recommend that you download one of the self-extracting archives as
36described below.
37@item @code{SunOS-5}
38@tab Sun workstations running Solaris version 5
39@item @code{sparc64-Linux}
40@tab Sun workstations running Linux in 64bit mode
41@item @code{ix86-SunOS}
42@tab PC/Opteron workstations running Solaris version 5
43@item @code{ppcMac-darwin}
44@tab ppc-Macintosh computers running OS X (10.4)
45@item @code{ix86Mac-darwin}
46@tab ix86-Macintosh computers running OS X (10.5)
47@item @code{x86_64-Linux}
48@tab Opteron workstations running Linux in 64bit mode
49@item @code{IRIX-6}
50@tab IRIX workstations running IRIX version 6
51@item @code{AIX-4}
52@tab AIX workstations running AIX version 4
53@end multitable
54Please contact us if
55you cannot find an appropriate architecture dependent archive.
56
57@item
58Simply change to the directory in which you wish to install
59@sc{Singular} (usually wherever you install 3rd-party software):
60@smallexample
61cd /usr/local/ 
62@end smallexample
63
64@sc{Singular} specific subdirectories will be created in such a way
65that multiple versions and multiple architecture dependent files
66of @sc{Singular} can coexist under the same @code{/usr/local/}
67tree.
68
69@item
70Unpack the archives:
71@smallexample
72gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
73gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
74@end smallexample
75
76@item
77After unpacking, see the created file
78@code{Singular/@value{VERSION}/INSTALL} (which is also located at
79@uref{ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/pub/Math/Singular/INSTALL_unix.html}
80for details on how to finish the installation.
