■ If you are installing from a downloaded application tar file, unpack the tar file:
tar -zxvf <filename.tar.gz>
The file is uncompressed and an installation directory is created on your system.
6 Go to the installation directory, and start the installation script by typing:
./INSTALL_<application_name>
where <application_name> is in upper case. For example, if you are installing Smoke, type:
./INSTALL_SMOKE
NOTE If installing an educational version, start the initialization script by typing
./INSTALL_<application_name> --edu, for example ./INSTALL_SMOKE --edu
The installer verifies the packages and the installation process starts. This may take a few minutes.

an existing user account.
