16.2 Installation Prerequisites
===============================

Installation requires a POSIX-like environment with a shell and at least
the following standard utilities:

     awk cat cp diff echo expr false ls mkdir mv printf pwd rm rmdir sed
     sort test tr

This package’s installation may need other standard utilities such as
‘grep’, ‘make’, ‘sleep’ and ‘touch’, along with compilers like ‘gcc’.
