To Install on Linux:
1. Download from the bottom section of the Maple page in TigerWare. Choose which version to download, 32-bit or 64-bit, by determining whether your Linux version is 32-bit or 64-bit. You can do this by typing uname -m in a Terminal window and pressing Enter. A result of "i686" or "i386" means you have a 32-bit version, but "x86_64" means you have a 64-bit version.
2. Open the setup file by typing the following three commands in a Terminal window:
cd Downloads [press Enter key]
chmod +x [application name].bin [press Enter]
./[application name].bin [press Enter]
Replace "application name" above with the full name of the Maple file you downloaded, with no spaces. If there is a typo, it will not run, so type carefully. Do not exit out of the Terminal until Maple has been installed.
3. You should now arrive at the setup screen. Click Forward at the bottom of the window.
