No documentation on how to install XC32 compiler for compiling contiki

I could not find any documentation on how to install the XC32 compiler, here is some internal documentation I found:

Cross-Compiling Contiki

Building the Contiki image for a Seedeye or MikroE Clicker board currently requires Linux.

Microchip Toolchain Installation

Before targets can be compiled, the cross-compiler toolchain must be installed.

For 64-bit Ubuntu, 32-bit runtime libraries must be installed before the XC32 compiler can be run:

$ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386

For 64bit Ubuntu the package lib32ncurses5 may also be required.

Installing the microchip XC32 compiler (~100 MB):

$ wget http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/xc32-v1.34-full-install-linux-installer.run
$ chmod a+x xc32-v1.34-full-install-linux-installer.run
$ sudo ./xc32-v1.34-full-install-linux-installer.run --mode unattended --Add\ to\ PATH 1 --debuglevel 4 --installerfunction installcompiler --netservername localhost
# no output expected
$ . ~/.bashrc
$ xc32-gcc --version
xc32-gcc (Microchip Technology) 4.5.2 MPLAB XC32 Compiler v1.34 Build date: Nov 21 2014
Part support version: 1.34 (A)
...

There are reports that the installer does not modified PATH correctly. If trying to run xc32-gcc results in "command not found", modify your .bashrc to set the path correctly:

$ echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/opt/microchip/xc32/v1.34/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$ . ~/.bashrc
