Zlib is a compression/decompression library used by several software packages, including MySQL and Python.

By default, the installation procedure installs this library package in the SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ] directory. 
To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of the PRODUCT command. 
In this case, the library package will be installed in the dev:[dir.LIBZ] directory.

Installation

   1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
   2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

$ UNZIP "-V" ZLIB-V0102-3-1

   3. Install the Zlib package to your chosen destination.

$ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib  (default)

or ...

$ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

   4. Finally, run the DCL procedure STARTUP.COM to define the necessary logicals.

(You might want to add the relevant line to your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.)

$ @SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ]STARTUP  (default)

  or ...

$ @dev:[dir.LIBZ]STARTUP
