The method of installing the gcc compiler can be done through the following steps:

  1. Open the terminal window and install the gcc compiler using the following command:
  2. Please update the package list and install gcc using the following commands:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gcc
  3. This will download and install the gcc compiler from the software repository using the apt package manager.
  4. During the installation process, you may be required to enter a password for confirmation. Depending on system settings, installing may require the use of root user privileges.
  5. After installation, you can use the following command to verify if gcc has been successfully installed:
  6. Can you tell me the version of gcc installed on your computer?
  7. If the installation is successful, the version information for gcc will be displayed.

During the deployment of an application, it is necessary to deploy the compiled executable files along with their related library files. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Compile the source code using gcc to generate an executable file. For example, if the file name is main.c, compile using the following command:
  2. Compile the main.c file and output the executable as main.
  3. This will produce an executable file named main.
  4. Deploy the generated executable file and its related library files to the target machine together. They can be copied to the appropriate directory, such as /usr/local/bin.
  5. Copy the file named “main” to the directory “/usr/local/bin/” using superuser privileges.
  6. This will copy the executable file main to the directory /usr/local/bin.
  7. If the application relies on other library files, these files also need to be deployed together. They can be copied to the system library path or the path can be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The specific action depends on the requirements of the application.

The above are the general steps for installing and deploying the gcc compiler in Linux, with specific operations possibly varying depending on the Linux distribution and system configuration.
