See: [https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/intel-releases-oneapi-toolkit-free-fortran-2018/471/43](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/intel-releases-oneapi-toolkit-free-fortran-2018/471/43)

If you just install the package `intel-oneapi-compiler-fortran`, it takes less than 2 GB on your hard drive.

And it’s important to know that when a new version is available, it does not replace the previous one, but is added to. I therefore remove the previous one with Synaptic to limit the space occupied on disk.

For `setvars.sh` see also: [https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/intel-releases-oneapi-toolkit-free-fortran-2018/471/74](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/intel-releases-oneapi-toolkit-free-fortran-2018/471/74)
