How to install Adobe SVG Viewer
Before installing, please close any application which you have used to view SVG with an older version of Adobe SVG Viewer.
Switch to root.
Change directory to /usr/local (creating it if it doesn't exist). You should be able to use any other location, but it was not extensively tested.
Unpack the installation package by running tar xzvf adobesvg-3.01-linux-i386.tar.gz.
Run the script adobesvg-3.01/install.sh.
How to install plug-ins for use with unsupported Browsers
If you want to install plug-in for another browser which supports Netscape plug-ins, you can copy the file libNPSVG3.so in the installation folder to your browser's plugins folder (or make a symbolic link if the browser loads symbolically linked plug-ins - recent versions of Mozilla do not). The plug-in will try to find other libraries at the path in ADOBE_SVG_VIEWER_PATH environment variable (if it is set), or by either looking into /usr/local/adobesvg (which install.sh will symbolically link to your SVG plug-in instalation). If libNPSVG3.so is symbolically linked to the SVG plug-in installation folder and /proc filesystem is mounted, the plug-in will find the libraries through that symbolic link, so environment variable is not necessary.
If you want to install plug-in, but you don't have root access to the computer, switch to the folder where you want installation to be performed, run tar xzvf adobesvg-3.01-linux-i386.tar.gz followed by adobesvg-3.01/install.sh --local
Also, you can follow these steps:
Before installing, please close any application which you have used to view SVG with an older version of Adobe SVG Viewer.
Pick a place in the file system where you want the plug-in to be installed, change directory to that location.
Unpack the installation package by running tar xzvf adobesvg-3.01-linux-i386.tar.gz. This will create adobesvg-3.01 subfolder - which is your SVG viewer installation folder. You can rename it if you want at this step.
Create this folder: $HOME/.mozilla/plugins if it does not exist.
Make sure that $HOME/.mozilla/plugins does not contain any SVG plug-in libraries (libNPSVG*.so), delete them if necessary.
Copy libNPSVG3.so from the SVG plug-in installation folder to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins
Set ADOBE_SVG_VIEWER_PATH to the full path of the SVG viewer installation folder. Make sure it is set up in your .cshrc or .profile (or other startup file) depending on the shell that you use.
Such setup was not extensively tested and is not fully supporte
