13Make sure that you have approximately 12MByte of free disk space and follow
14these steps.
15
16@enumerate
17@item
18You need to download two (archive) files:
19@table @code
20@item Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz
21contains architecture independent data like documentation and libraries
22(alternatively, you may also download
23@code{Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.zip}).
24@item Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz
25contains architecture dependent executables, like the @sc{Singular}
26program.
27@end table
28@code{<uname>} is a description of the processor and operating
29system 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
33Linux distirbution version >= 6; RedHat Linux distirbution version >= 5.2).
34@item @code{ix86-Linux-libc5}
35@tab PC's running under Linux with @code{libc} version 5 (if you are not
36sure which @code{libc} version you have, run @code{ldd /bin/ls}).
37@item @code{HPUX-9}
38@tab HP workstations running under HPUX version 9
39@item @code{HPUX-10}
40@tab HP workstations running under HPUX version 10
41@item @code{SunOS-5}
42@tab Sun workstations running Solaris version 5
43@end multitable
44Please contact us if
45you can not find an appropriate architecture dependent archive.
46
47@item
48Simply change to the directory in which you wish to install
49@sc{Singular} (usually wherever you install 3rd-party software):
50@smallexample
51cd /usr/local/ 
52@end smallexample
53
54@sc{Singular} specific subdirectories will be created in such a way
55that multiple versions and multiple architecture dependent files
56of @sc{Singular} can peaceably coexist under the same @code{/usr/local/}
57tree.
58
59@item
60Unpack the archives:
61@smallexample
62gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-<uname>.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
63gzip -dc Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
64@end smallexample
65If you have downloaded @code{Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.zip},
66unpack with
67@smallexample
68unzip -u Singular-@value{VERSION}-share.zip
69@end smallexample
70
71@item
72After unpacking, see the created file
73@code{Singular/@value{VERSION}/INSTALL} for details on how to finish
74the installation.
