# Multilib install instructions

## Slackware for x86_64 - multilib packages & install instructions

## README.ERIC
Before proceeding with the installation, it is better to read Eric's instructions.
You will find the file README.ERIC for this purpose, or refer directly to:
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

## Multilib repository

In this folder, there are two lists, as Eric says, you should install first the glibc packages
and then the 32-bit compatibility packages. First, edit the '/etc/slpkg/repositories.toml' file
and enable the 'multilib' repository and then:

## Update repository

```
  $ slpkg update --repository=multilib
```

## Install packages

```
  $ slpkg install glibc_packages.pkgs --repository=multilib
```

```
  $ slpkg install compat32.pkgs --repository=multilib
```

Enjoy!
