You can then +install the executable wherever you like in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/). +Type "pigz" to see the command help and all of the command options. + +The latest version of pigz can be found at http://zlib.net/pigz/ . You need +zlib version 1.2.3 or later to compile pigz. You can find the latest version +of zlib at http://zlib.net/ .
