If the CERN library directory tree is not accessible over NFS
or AFS
, we must first retrieve the compressed tar files containing
the source (cernsrc.tar.Z) and the installation scripts (cernmgr.tar.Z). 
We first connect to the asis server, as shown below.

Having retrieved the installation kits, we now unpack using plitar .

#
# Syntax: plitar [ -n ] tar_options tar_file
#
# plitar combines tar+compress utilities to pack/unpack the files being
# part of the CERNlib distribution set; the corresponding _readme file
# describes the contents of each of them. Please read it beforehand.
# Location of tar files and the target install directory is controlled
# through environment variables CERN, CERN_LEVEL and PLITMP
#
# Examples:
#
# plitar -n xvf cernlib "non-execute" mode to display the action
# plitar tvf cmz examines the CMZ compressed-tar set
# plitar xvf geant installs the GEANT compressed-tar set

We now add the following commands to our profile.
Tailoring the .profile of the cernlib account
PATH=/cern/pro/bin:$PATH; export PATH export CERN=/cernlib/cern export CERN_LEVEL=93d export PLISTA=DEV . $CERN/$CERN_LEVEL/mgr/plienv.sh
We then reexecute the .profile and switch to the CERN manager directory.
Preparing to build the CERN software
. .profile cd $CERN/$CERN_LEVEL/mgr
We now create 3 directories and 1 link and are then ready to start the installation.
Completing the pre-installation phase
zfatal:/cernlib/tmp (160) cd $CERN/$CERN_LEVEL zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (161) mkdir bin zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (162) mkdir lib zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (163) mkdir log zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (164) mkdir doc zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (165) zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d (166) cd src zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d/src (165) ln -sf car cra zfatal:/cernlib/kern/93d/src (166)
N.B. the source code of the package MPA is not available for distribution. For make all to work, the dummy link mpa.car in the src/car directory must be removed.
Removing dummy mpa.car file
rm /cernlib/kern/93d/src/car/mpa.car # as root if all else fails touch /cernlib/kern/93d/src/car/mpa.car
We may now rebuild the entire CERN library using make all or one component, as shown below.
