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
