Installing OpenGL® is usually straightforward, with many operating systems having it pre-installed. Users can install the programming environment and GLUT modules for updates and easier use. After installation, users must use the “verify_install” command to ensure proper installation.
The Open Graphics Library (OpenGL®) program may seem difficult to install, but usually installing OpenGL® is pretty straightforward. Users should check for OpenGL® systems with Instant Ignition or Operating Systems (OS) that ship with OpenGL® automatically installed. While the programming environment module shouldn’t be included when installing OpenGL®, it is often useful for various updates. Unless users like to run every function from the command line, installing the OpenGL® Utility Library (GLUT) will help by creating buttons and windows. You need to use a command after installing OpenGL® to ensure that the program installed correctly.
Many operating systems come with OpenGL® installed automatically, which means that the user will have to do very little work to get started with the program. This means that the user must search the computer to see if OpenGL® is pre-installed. If not, another alternative to make installing OpenGL® easier is to get the instant-on module. This automates most of the OpenGL® installation, so the user may only need to click a few buttons to complete the installation.
The programming environment is a module that the user can choose to install during the installation process, and while it usually takes a little longer, it is usually better to have. The user might think otherwise, because he might not plan any custom programming, which is what this module was created for. Most OpenGL® updates are pushed through this environment, so this module should help keep the program up to date. Most modules made by other users are also installed this way, which can be useful if these modules add new functionality or automate graphics rendering tasks.
Another module that can be added when installing OpenGL® is the GLUT module. If the user prefers to use the command line with OpenGL® because they know these commands, then GLUT can be harmful. Most users will prefer GLUT because it adds tools and windows to the program, making it easier for users unfamiliar with command-line functions.
After installing OpenGL®, a certain command must be used to ensure that the program is inserted correctly. The user has to go to the command line and enter the command “verify_install”. OpenGL® will respond by examining the program, checking installation files, modules and other parts of the software to make sure there are no defects in the installation. If there are problems, OpenGL® will report them and the user can correct them.
