<h3>Unpacking</h3>
<li> <code>/path/to/install/dir</code> is the directory which deal.II
should be installed into. This can be a directory in your home
directory (e.g., <code>~/bin/deal.II</code>) or a directory

indices for degrees of freedom, using
the <code>types::global_dof_index</code> type. This limits the number of
