Isabelle Packages

%body%

<p>

The following source and binary packages of <!-- _GP_ distname -->

provide everything required for easy installation of the full Isabelle

working environment on common Unix platforms.

<p>

A <em>minimal</em> Isabelle installation requires only <tt>bash</tt>

and <tt>perl</tt> (usually provided by the operating system), and a

suitable implementation of Standard ML (e.g. <a

href="http://www.polyml.org">Poly/ML</a> as provided below).  A

<em>comfortable</em> Isabelle working environment demands further user

interface support, as provided by <a

href="http://www.proofgeneral.org">Proof General</a> together with the

(optional) <a

href="http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/">X-Symbol</a>

package.  Both of these should be used with a recent version of <a

href="http://www.xemacs.org">XEmacs-21</a>.

<p>

<h2>Packages</h2>

We provide a complete set of packages for Isabelle, Proof General and

X-Symbol.  While XEmacs-21 is not included here, most operating system

distributions already provide a suitable package, although not

installed by default.

<p>

Some packages are platform dependent.  Everything is included below

for Linux/x86 and Solaris/Sparc systems.  Other Unix platforms work as

well, but require manual compilation of Isabelle logic images using a

suitable Standard ML system.

<h2>Installation</h2>

Installation is very easy.  Basically, just unpack all required

packages within the same directory.  There is <em>no</em> manual

configuration required of any of these components, if used according

the default settings of Isabelle.

<p>

A typical Linux/x86 site installation of Isabelle/HOL works as

follows.  By using GNU <tt>tar</tt>, the archives are uncompressed and

unpacked into the <tt>/usr/local</tt> directory (this location may be

changed to anything appropriate).

<p>

<tt>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href(distname . ".tar.gz", distname . ".tar.gz") --> <br>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href("contrib/polyml_base.tar.gz", "polyml_base.tar.gz") --> <br>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href("contrib/polyml_x86-linux.tar.gz", "polyml_x86-linux.tar.gz") --> <br>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href("HOL_x86-linux.tar.gz", "HOL_x86-linux.tar.gz") --> <br>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href("contrib/ProofGeneral.tar.gz", "ProofGeneral.tar.gz") --> <br>

   tar -C /usr/local -xzf

<!-- _GP_ href("contrib/x-symbol.tar.gz", "x-symbol.tar.gz") --> <br>

</tt>

<p>

Users may now invoke Isabelle without further ado, e.g. run the main

executable <tt>/usr/local/Isabelle/bin/Isabelle</tt> to launch the

Isabelle Proof General interface.
