E.5 Macintosh installation instructions
Installation of the provided binaries
Do not use the Finder for the installation!
After inserting the CD, open a terminal (under /Applications/Utilities) and
type the following commands (you need an Admin Account):
sudo tar -xvzf /Volumes/CDROM/MAC/OSX/Singular-3-0-3-ppcMac-darwin.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf /Volumes/CDROM/MAC/OSX/Singular-3-0-3-share.tar.gz
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/Singular/3-0-3/ppcMac-darwin/Singular /usr/local/bin/Singular-3-0-3
The first two commands unpack the tar.gz files and copy the Singular
files (binaries and documentation, libs, etc) to /usr/local/Singular/3-0-3.
The final command creates a link in /usr/local/bin so that you can just type
Singular-3-0-3
to run SINGULAR in any terminal.
(The expert might wish to read the INSTALL_unix.html file in the UNIX
directory for alternatives).
Installation via fink
Fink is a well-known package format for Mac OS X.
(see http://fink.sf.net)
There are two packages: singular-doc and singular.
They are available for 10.3 and 10.4 (in fink called 10.4-transitional).
If you have fink installed, choose one of the two possibilities:
-
type in a shell:
fink selfupdate
fink install singular singular-doc
-
using the Fink Commander:
-
Start your Fink Commander
-
After updating the package list,
there should appear "singular" and "singular-doc" as packages
-
Install it from sources (Fink will do that for you automatically.)
