Installing Nekoware is easy but requires knowledge of IRIX's inst system.

Clearing out old Nekoware

If there's a historical (pre-2025) Nekoware install laying around it must be removed entirely. No exceptions. Dependency conflicts and file conflicts are a serious concern.

To do so:

# inst
inst> keep neko_*
inst> go

And then for good measure:

# rm -r /usr/nekoware

Recommended installation

Using inst or software manager, install the new nekoware packages. Take the time to understand the package structure so that any documentation or bits that are wanted don't get inadvertently left out.
