For a given system, the PBS install script uses the native package installer provided with
that system. This means that the PBS package should install into what is considered the
“normal” location for third-party software.
The following example shows a typical installation under Sun Solaris. The process is very
similar for other operating system, but may vary depending on the native package installer
on each system.
