What to do for Math::Pari in cpan terminal

I found this one relevant question on problems with installing Math::Pari, here. Except this is for shell and I have cpanm. I downloaded the latest version of Pari, Pari 2-7-6. Where should I extract the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Pari-2-7-6 to install Math::Pari in perl (not in cpan shell however) successfully? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Here is an easy way on Windows:

    1. Download and extract the module: https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Pari
    2. cd into the directory you created when extracting
    3. perl Makefile.PL force_download <- this downloads things to the right place
    4. dmake
    5. dmake install
