4. Installation

4.1. Installation of Library Software and Manual

Assuming you have downloaded the Library materials from our website as a tar gzip file (clsol25dc.tgz), cd to the directory where the file is located and extract the installation materials using the following commands:
  gunzip clsol25dc.tgz
  tar xvf clsol25dc.tar
This will extract the files install.sh, cl25.tar, lic_agr.txt, in.html and un.html.

If you have downloaded the Library Manual as a tar gzip file (cl25_doc.tgz) run the command

  gunzip cl25_doc.tgz
to extract the file cl25_doc.tar into the same location as the Library materials.

You can then install the materials from the download directory by executing the Bourne Shell script install in a command window as:

  ./install.sh
If you are logged in as root then, by default, the materials will be installed in /opt/NAG/ or /usr/local/NAG/ depending on your system. However, you may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/clsol25dc or /usr/local/NAG/clsol25dc as [INSTALL_DIR]. This convention is also used in the Users' Note.

The install script can install the Library Manual in the same location as the NAG Library material or at some other location of your choice.

4.2. Further Information

4.2.1. Checking the Installation

Access to the Library materials can be checked by running a few example programs following the advice given in the Users' Note, Section 3.1; a suitable sample would be d01sjc, f07adc and g05sjc. The installation can also be tested using the batch files nagc_example* (see Users' Note, Section 3.2).
