Running the Installer

3. Installing a Wolfram product’s documentation under its default location requires administrative privileges. Use the command sudo to run the installer script.
   
   For example, if the installer is called “installer.sh”, run:

   sudo bash installer.sh

   sudo asks you to enter your password on the machine. After providing it, the installation starts.

   The installer asks whether to proceed with the installation of the documentation as all users of the computer will be able to use it.

   All users of this computer will be able to use this software.
   
   Proceed with installation? (Y/n)
   

4. To install, type Y; otherwise, type n.
   
   Wait for the installation to finish.

The installation is now complete.
