Downloading ifx 2025.1

[JFH]

I downloaded the new ifx compiler into my Linux Ubuntu 24.10 system. Evidence:

(lf) john:~$ cd /opt/intel/oneapi
(lf) john:/opt/intel/oneapi$ ls -o i*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john 609340082 Mar 27 10:04 intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline.sh
(lf) john:/opt/intel/oneapi$

Installation Guide for Linux* seems not to say what one should do with it. Do I have to download more than 4 times as much (2781.55 MB) as well? I do not intend using C++.

the installer has to be run:

cd /opt/intel/oneapi

chmod +x intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline.sh

./intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline.sh

... answer the installer questions

then

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

or find where the installation put your oneapi Fortran installation and find "setvars.sh", and source that file.  every time you login and want to use the compiler from a new terminal window.

Thank you Ron-Green. No problem with your first 2 lines but then I got

```

(lf) john:/opt/intel/oneapi$ ./intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline.sh
Error: no write permissions for folder '/opt/intel/oneapi/intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline'
(lf) john:/opt/intel/oneapi$

```

I then tried sudo mkdir intel-fortran-compiler-2025.1.0.601_offline
but that made no difference, so I deleted that new directory. What should I have done?
