Next: MacOS X binary distributions, Up: Installation
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 a LaTeX style file):
tar -C / -zxf asymptote-x.xx.ARCH.tar.gz texhash
Example code will be installed by default in
/usr/local/share/doc/asymptote.
Alternatively, Debian users can install Hubert Chan's Asymptote
prebuilt binary from either of the following sites:
http://packages.debian.org/asymptote
