This chapter presents the various aspects of installing and updating the RecurDyn Linux solver.
System Requirements
The RecurDyn Linux solver supports computers with Intel or AMD processors that are running on the SUSE 64-Bit Enterprise Linux.
You must be logged in as a super-user in order to install or update the RecurDyn Linux Solver into the recommended top-level directories. However, this documentation can also provide instructions for a local install and usage in your local directories for testing or evaluation purposes that do not require super-user privileges.
