Yup, it seems so to me, but here is the info from the package:

Actually, this install works for the test apps, that use X11 windows.  
However, they don't lead to a usable command line.
A lot more poking around lead to this thread:

Which has some instructions that look like a "real " install.
I'll try to come back and report, but that's what I have learned so far
