4. Installation

4.1. Installation of Library Software and Manual

If you have downloaded the Library materials, double click on FLMI626DCL.dmg to mount the disk image. You should see the files install.command, fl26.tgz, lic_agr.txt, in.html, un.html and mk26_doc.tgz.

To install the Library software, double click on install.command and follow the instructions. By default, the materials will be installed under $HOME/NAG/, or if the directory $HOME does not exist, under /opt/NAG/. However, you may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory $HOME/NAG/flmi626dcl or /opt/NAG/flmi626dcl as [INSTALL_DIR]. This convention is also used in the Users' Note.

The install script can install the Library Manual in the same location as the NAG Library material or at some other location of your choice. Alternatively, the Library Manual may be viewed from the NAG website (

4.1.1. Silent Installation

From a command line, it is also possible to run install.command in unattended or silent modes. The installer takes command line switches for this purpose:

4.1.2. License Management

The use of this product is controlled by the Kusari license management system. This release of the Library uses version 2.2-88 of Kusari.

In order to enable the software, NAG will issue you with a license key. The license key is contained in a text file consisting of details of the software that will be enabled. For evaluation purposes a trial license may be used. Before obtaining a full license you need to know the Kusari hostid of the system on which you intend to use this product. How to do this is described below.

To request a license key, run the program khostid located in the license/bin/macx64/ subdirectory of the software distribution. This utility must be run from a command prompt. Return the information that it displays, together with the product code (in this case FLMI626DCL), by email to NAG. Alternatively, direct the output from this utility to a file and send both the file and the product code to NAG.


  FLMI626DC TRIAL 2016/11/12 "EMnxidA3oeoj0F1Yvi5ibxPjB7"
Specifically, it has a line containing the word TRIAL. Longer term license keys must be locked to a specific computer, i.e. they will enable the software on one computer only. These license keys typically include the word NODE or FULL instead of the word TRIAL above and may contain extra fields.



For example, in the C shell, type:

  setenv NAG_KUSARI_FILE [INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic
or in the Bourne shell, type:


4.2. Further Information

4.2.1. Checking the Installation

Access to the Library materials can be checked by running a few example programs following the advice given in the Users' Note, Section 3.1; a suitable sample would be D01AUF, E04UCA and F07ADF. The installation can also be tested using the batch files nag_example* (see Users' Note, Section 3.3).
