Basic installation

IBM XL Fortran for Linux provides an interactive utility, xlf_install, that walks you through a basic installation. You can use xlf_install to perform any of the following tasks:

By running the xlf_install utility, you are prompted to accept or decline the license agreement. If you accept the agreement, the license files will be output to .txt files for your future reference. If you decline the agreement, the installation process exits without installing the compiler and no files will be written to your system.

You should consider a basic installation of IBM XL Fortran for Linux, V15.1 with the xlf_install utility on a system as long as both of the following conditions apply: If either of these conditions does not apply, use the procedures in Advanced installation.
