Package
A less automatic way on Debian or Ubuntu is to install a Par4All .deb package manually.
For release versions, according to your OS and architecture, download a package from:
- http://download.par4all.org/releases/debian/i686
- http://download.par4all.org/releases/debian/x86_64
- http://download.par4all.org/releases/ubuntu/i686
- http://download.par4all.org/releases/ubuntu/x86_64
You can then install the package with:
% sudo gdebi <the_package>.deb
sudo dpkg -i <the_package>.deb would also work but does not automatically install dependencies you should install later.
In any case, you will then need to source one of the following shell scripts which set up the environment variables for proper Par4All execution:
If you use bash, sh, dash, etc…
% source /usr/local/par4all/etc/par4all-rc.sh
If you use csh, tcsh, etc…
% source /usr/local/par4all/etc/par4all-rc.csh
For more information, look at the documentation section.
