8 The following source and binary packages of <!-- _GP_ distname -->
9 provide everything required for easy installation of the full Isabelle
10 working environment on common Unix platforms.
14 A <em>minimal</em> Isabelle installation requires only <tt>bash</tt>
15 and <tt>perl</tt> (usually provided by the operating system), and a
16 suitable implementation of Standard ML (e.g. Poly/ML as provided
21 A <em>comfortable</em> Isabelle working environment demands further
22 user interface support, as provided by <a
23 href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/proofgen/">Proof General</a>
24 together with the (optional) <a
25 href="http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/">X-Symbol</a>
26 package. Both of these should be used with a recent version of <a
27 href="http://www.xemacs.org">XEmacs</a> (e.g. version 21.1).
31 Below we offer tuned distributions of Proof General and X-Symbol, such
32 that <em>no manual configuration</em> is required when used with
33 Isabelle. (In case that the original distributions are used instead,
34 refer to their included instructions for the installation details.)
35 Note that XEmacs-21 is not included here -- most operating system
36 distributions already provide suitable packages, although not
