2.1 UNIX binary distributions

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 one of the following sites:
