Installing Open64 3.0

Installing the Compiler Suite


Before installing the compiler, the environment variable $TOOLROOT should be set properly. As the name suggests, this variable specifies the root of the installation hierarchy. You can set it to anywhere you have write permission. For example, in GNU BASH this may be done with the following command: may set this variable by adding this command to the $HOME/.bash_profile file:
export TOOLROOT=$HOME/mycompiler

After that, run 'source $HOME/.bash_profile' to make the change effective

Now, to complete the installation:

  • expand open64-3.0-bin.tar.gz with the command:
    tar zxvf open64-3.0-bin.tar.gz
  • Run script 'INSTALL.sh'


The C, C++, Fortran compilers are now avilable in the folder $TOOLROOT/usr/bin/. They are opencc, openCC, openf90 respectively.
