## Installing as an Executable

The script file `install.sh` can be run at a UNIX command prompt to install FOMUS as a command-line executable program. Right now this can only be done with SBCL, CMUCL, CLISP and OpenMCL in UNIX (it's been tested in OS X and Linux).

Type the following to get a list of installation options:

Example 2.5. Running the Installation Script 1

    cd path_to_install_directory
    ./install.sh --help

By default, the script tries to install the program into the subdirectories in `/usr/local`. The commands for a default installation using SBCL would look like this:

Example 2.6. Running the Installation Script 2

    su -
    cd path_to_install_directory
    ./install.sh --sbcl

There is also an option for uninstalling. To see how to run FOMUS as an executable, see Command Line Interface and Text File Interface.
