3.5.2 Installation
Please refer to the following steps to complete it.
1. Download or copy the
IxCOM
package to a directory that you have access to.
2. Extract the package. For example, the package's file name is "
ixcom-0.8.1.tar.gz
" and its
path related to your current working directory is../pkg, then the extraction command would
be
#tar -zxvf ../pkg/ixcom-0.8.1.tar.gz
An ixcom-0.8.1 directory is created after extraction.
3. For convenient access, it is a good idea to put a symbol-link on it.
#ln -s ixcom-0.8.1 ixcom
4. Change to the
ixcom
working directory you just made, type
#./configure to create proper Makefiles.
