### 14.2.2: Pre-compiled unix versions

Pre-compiled versions of Gri exist for various computers, e.g. SPARC (both sunOS and solaris), IBM-RS, Sequent, and Linux. The following instructions, which assume a version number 2.12.17, and a SPARC solaris machine, show how to install these.

The compressed tar file, with a name like ``gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.17.tar.gz`' (in this example a Sun OS 5 binary is assumed, with gri version number 2.12.17) contains a directory which holds the executable Gri file, ``gri`', the library file ``gri.cmd`', an instructions file, ``README`', and a Makefile to install Gri.

Here's how to install Gri, starting with this tar file:

1. First, uncompress (unzip) the file, and un-tar it, by doing

       gunzip -c gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.17.tar.gz | tar xvf -

   or

       zcat gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.17.tar.gz | tar xvf -

   This will yield a new directory, with a name like ``gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.17`', which contains the indicated files.

2. Follow the instructions in the ``README`' file to install Gri.
