Simply change to the directory in which you wish to install
SINGULAR (usually wherever you install 3rd-party software):
SINGULAR specific subdirectories will be created in such a way
that multiple versions and multiple architecture dependent files
of SINGULAR can peaceably coexist under the same /usr/local/
tree.
-
Unpack the archives:
| gzip -dc Singular-3-0-4-<uname>.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
gzip -dc Singular-3-0-4-share.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
