Next: MacOS X binary distributions, Up: Installation
We now release both RPM and tar.gz
binary distributions of
Asymptote
. Here are the commands that the root user can use to
install the Linux i386
binary distribution of version x.xx
of
Asymptote
for a specific platform ARCH
in
/usr/local
. The executable file will be
/usr/local/bin/asy
(the optional texhash
command
installs LaTeX style files):
tar -C / -zxf asymptote-x.xx.ARCH.tar.gz texhash
Example code will be installed by default in
/usr/share/doc/asymptote/examples
.
Alternatively, Debian users can install Hubert Chan's Asymptote
prebuilt binary from one of the following sites:
http://www.uhoreg.ca/programming/debian/pool/main/a/asymptote
Fedora Core 4 (and later) users can easily install Asymptote
from Fedora Extras mirrors:
yum install asymptote
