We release both tgz
and RPM binary distributions of
Asymptote
. The root user can install the Linux i386
tgz
distribution of version x.xx
of Asymptote
with the commands:
tar -C / -zxf asymptote-x.xx.i386.tgz texhashThe
texhash
command, which installs LaTeX style files, is optional.
The executable file will be /usr/local/bin/asy
) and example code
will be installed by default in /usr/share/doc/asymptote/examples
.
Fedora Core users can easily install Asymptote
from the Fedora Extras mirrors:
yum install asymptote
