Hi,

Yes, you can unpack the tar.Z file wherever you like, for example
/usr/local/netcdf/.

If you copy the file to that directory and go there and and invoke

  zcat netcdf-3.5.0.tar.Z | tar xf -

it will create the subdirectory netcdf-3.5.0/ and the file README.
The netcdf-3.5.0/ subdirectory will contain the subdirectories

  man/      contains the reference documentation
  bin/      includes the utility programs ncgen, ncdump
  include/  "include" files for C, C++, f77, and f90 libraries
  lib/      C++ library and C/f77/f90 library

You can move the contents of thee directories somewhere else, but
you will need to note where the include files and library files are
for use in later compiling programs that use the libraries.  See the
documentation on using the libraries in the NetCDF Users Guide for C,
for example:
