The libraries are supplied in a single directory called pharosc (named after one of the wonders of the ancient world which showed the right direction to take). The library tar file should be moved to the desired location and un-tarred. In the example below, the library is placed in the user's home directory, abbreviated by ~.

$ cd ~
$ ls
 - many entries -
pharosc_8.2.tar.gz
 - many entries -
$ gunzip pharosc_8.2.tar.gz
$ tar xvf pharosc_8.2.tar
$ ln -s pharosc_8.2 pharosc
$ cd pharosc
