A..2 Installation of pre-built binaries

Binaries are given as RPM (see http://www.rpm.org) packages which are installed in the standard way. There are RPMs tuned for the Pentium III, Pentium 4 and Athlon architectures. These also support parallel execution. There is a generic serial rpm which should run on all IA32 architectures. You can install using the command:
rpm -Uhv molpro-mpp-2006.1 -0.p4.rpm
where the filename of the rpm has the format:
molpro-(mpp|serial)-2006.1 -PATCHLEVEL.ARCH.rpm
where PATCHLEVEL is a number denoting the patchlevel of the rpm and ARCH denotes the architecture. At present these RPMs are not relocatable, and will install under /usr/local. If a licence key is set in the MOLPRO_KEY environment variable or the rpm finds a licence key which has been cached in $HOME/.molpro/token from a previous install then that key will be installed with the software. If the rpm cannot find a key or automatically download it from the molpro website then the user will be prompted to run the post-install script: /usr/local/bin/molpro-configure which will download the key from the molpro website and place it in:
/usr/local/lib/molpro-mpptype-arch/.token

Other configuration options as described in section A.3.6 may also be specified in the script file:
/usr/local/bin/molpro
