asymptote: UNIX binary distributions

 
 2.1 UNIX binary distributions
 =============================
 
 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
 texhash
 The '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/local/share/doc/asymptote/examples'.
 
 Fedora users can easily install the most recent version of 'Asymptote'
 with the command
 dnf --enablerepo=rawhide install asymptote
 
 To install the latest version of 'Asymptote' on a Debian-based
 distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Mepis, Linspire) follow the instructions for
 compiling from 'UNIX' source (SeeCompiling from UNIX source).
 Alternatively, Debian users can install one of Hubert Chan's prebuilt
 'Asymptote' binaries from
