The ifort part, as mentioned above, is in the release notes. As those notes (at least the linux ones) say, it's possible to add the ifort environment setup to .profile or whatever so that every new terminal has the ifort command set up for compile and run, but I would agree on the advantages of having a specific icon for it.<BR /> Sat, 16 Oct 2010 17:19:45 GMT TimP 2010-10-16T17:19:45Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Fortran-Install-SOS/m-p/749824#M6604 Once downloaded, how do I get a desktop icon?

Please read the <A href="http://software.intel.com/file/30031">release notes</A> to make sure that your system has the prerequisites installed, and to save yourself trouble later. Then, in the same release notes, read and follow the instructions for installation.<BR /> Sat, 16 Oct 2010 13:37:40 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Fortran-Install-SOS/m-p/749825#M6605 mecej4 2010-10-16T13:37:40Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Fortran-Install-SOS/m-p/749826#M6606 I did that, but still cannot figure how to get icon on the desktop.

It's up to you to decide what script you want an icon to run, and set it up yourself.
