<P> These instructions explain how to install Unix binaries of
<A HREF=relnotes.htm>Version 9.5 of Icon</A>.
For instructions on building an Icon source package, see
<A HREF=build.htm>Building Icon from Source</A>.
<H2>Installing a Private Copy of Icon</H2>
<P> To install Icon in your own directory, just unpack the tar file.
This produces a directory with
four subdirectories: <CODE>bin</CODE>, <CODE>lib</CODE>,
<CODE>doc</CODE>, and <CODE>man</CODE>.
Add the <CODE>bin</CODE> directory to your shell's search path.
<P> For instructions on building and running Icon programs, see the
man pages for <A HREF=icon.txt><CODE>icon</CODE></A>
and <A HREF=icont.txt><CODE>icont</CODE></A>.
For information about the Icon language, see the
<A HREF=index.htm>documentation guide</A>.
<H2>Installing a Public Copy of Icon</H2>
<P> A single copy of Icon can be shared among users
by unpacking it in a public area, or moving it there.
We suggest renaming the directory to <CODE>/opt/icon</CODE>
for new installations, but any location is acceptable.
It is only important that the <CODE>bin</CODE> and <CODE>lib</CODE>
directories retain those names as members of a common parent directory.
(More details about the Icon file organization are available
<A HREF=files.htm>separately</A>.)
<P> You can make symbolic links from other locations
to programs in the Icon <CODE>bin</CODE> directory.
For example, you can link
<CODE>/usr/local/bin/icon</CODE> to <CODE>/opt/icon/bin/icon</CODE>.
If you do this, link all of <CODE>icon</CODE>, <CODE>icont</CODE>,
<CODE>iconx</CODE>, and (if present) <CODE>vib</CODE>.
