---|
13 | Make sure that you have approximately 20 MByte of free disk space and follow |
---|
14 | these steps. |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | @enumerate |
---|
17 | @item |
---|
18 | You need to download two (archive) files: |
---|
19 | @table @code |
---|
20 | @item a: |
---|
21 | Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz |
---|
22 | contains architecture independent data like documentation and libraries |
---|
23 | @item b: |
---|
24 | Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz |
---|
25 | contains architecture dependent executables, like the @sc{Singular} |
---|
26 | program. |
---|
27 | @end table |
---|
28 | @code{<uname>} is a description of the processor and operating |
---|
29 | system for which @sc{Singular} is compiled. Choose one of the following: |
---|
30 | @multitable @columnfractions .2 .8 |
---|
31 | @item @code{ix86-Linux} |
---|
32 | @tab PC's running under Linux with @code{libc} version 6 (e.g., for SuSe |
---|
33 | Linux distribution version >= 6; RedHat Linux distribution version >= 5.2). |
---|
34 | @item @code{ix86-Win} |
---|
35 | @tab PC's running Windows 95/98/NT/2K/XP which have Cygwin version 1.0 (or |
---|
36 | higher) already installed. Unless you are familiar with Cygwin, we |
---|
37 | recommend that you download one of the self-extracting archives as |
---|
38 | described below. |
---|
39 | @item @code{SunOS-5} |

54 | Please contact us if |

55 | you can not find an appropriate architecture dependent archive. |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | @item |
---|
58 | Simply change to the directory in which you wish to install |
---|
59 | @sc{Singular} (usually wherever you install 3rd-party software): |
---|
60 | @smallexample |
---|
61 | cd /usr/local/ |
---|
62 | @end smallexample |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | @sc{Singular} specific subdirectories will be created in such a way |
---|
65 | that multiple versions and multiple architecture dependent files |
---|
66 | of @sc{Singular} can peaceably coexist under the same @code{/usr/local/} |
---|
67 | tree. |
---|
68 | |
---|
69 | @item |
---|
70 | Unpack the archives: |
---|
71 | @smallexample |
---|
72 | gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz | tar -pxf - |
---|
73 | gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz | tar -pxf - |
