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 (clla8262g.tgz), cd to the directory where the file is located and extract the installation materials using the following command:

  tar xvzf clla8262g.tgz
This will extract the files install.sh, cl26.tgz, nag_tsandcs.txt, in.html and un.html.

If you have downloaded the Library Manual as a tar gzip file (mk26-2_doc.tgz), move the file into the same location as the Library materials. You can then install the materials from the download directory by executing the shell script install.sh in a command window as:

  ./install.sh
By default, the materials will be installed under $HOME/NAG/, or if the directory $HOME does not exist, under /opt/NAG/. However, you may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory $HOME/NAG/clla8262g or /opt/NAG/clla8262g 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. Alternatively, the Library Manual may be viewed from the NAG website (https://www.nag.co.uk/content/nag-c-library-manual).

4.1.1. Silent Installation

It is also possible to run install.sh in unattended or silent modes. The installer takes command line switches for this purpose:

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 scripts nagc_example* (see Users' Note, Section 3.2).
