You may wish to examine platform specific installation notes forLinux orSGI .

The standard installation directory is /usr/local/sparky, but you can install it in any directory you like. Unpack the sparky-xxx.tar.gz file as follows.

	% cd /usr/local
	% tar zxf /tmp/sparky-xxx.tar.gz

Some versions of tar do not recognize the z option to uncompress. In that case use:

	% gunzip -c /tmp/sparky-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -

This is the error message that I get:

tar (child): /tmp/sparky-linux2.6-64bit.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
