       [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ~/admb/admb.sh simple.tpl
   

   Run simple example.

       [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ./simple
   

   Read manuals for more information.

4. Optional — Multi-User Installation

   Installs binary distribution folder to /usr/local/ as super-user.

       [~/admb/]$ sudo make install
   

   Build and run the simple example without the directory prefix.

       [~]$ cd admb/examples/admb/simple
       [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ admb simple.tpl
       [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ./simple
   

   If unable to build simple example, then use the Manual Installation below.

   Alternative — Manual Installation

   Copy binary distribution folder to /usr/local/ as super-user.

       [~]$ sudo cp -Rvf admb /usr/local/admb
   

   Create symlink to main admb script. Directory /usr/local/bin/ should already exist.

       [~]$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/admb/admb /usr/local/bin/admb
