Installing Packages

• Usage: stow package_directory

  • Stow will take all the files in "package_directory" and symlink them into the current directory's parent directory (which is called the "target directory".)

• Example:

  • For a package installed into: /usr/local/stow/dia_0.85
    • cd /usr/local/stow
    • stow dia_0.85
  • All files in /usr/local/stow/dia_0.85 are symlinked into /usr/local.
