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. <a
17 href="http://www.polyml.org">Poly/ML</a> as included below). A
18 <em>comfortable</em> Isabelle working environment demands further user
19 interface support, as provided by <a
20 href="http://www.proofgeneral.org">Proof General</a> (please <a
21 href="http://www.proofgeneral.org/register">register</a>) together
22 with the (optional) <a
23 href="http://x-symbol.sourceforge.net">X-Symbol</a> package. Both of
24 these should be used with a recent version of <a
25 href="http://www.xemacs.org">XEmacs-21</a> (preferably with MULE).
32 We provide a complete set of packages for Isabelle, Proof General and
33 X-Symbol. While XEmacs-21 is not included here, most operating system
34 distributions already provide a suitable package, although not
35 installed by default. Some of the packages below are platform
36 dependent; we include binaries for Linux/x86, Solaris/Sparc, and

79 In fact, there is no installation required. Users may just unpack all
80 required packages within the same directory. The default settings of
81 Isabelle should be reasonable for most circumstances.
85 A typical Linux/x86 site installation of Isabelle/HOL works as
86 follows. By using GNU <tt>tar</tt>, the archives are uncompressed and
87 unpacked into the <tt>/usr/local</tt> directory (this location may be
88 changed to anything appropriate).

109 Users may now invoke Isabelle without further ado, e.g. run the main
110 executable <tt>/usr/local/Isabelle/bin/Isabelle</tt> to launch the
111 Proof General interface for Isabelle/Isar. Note that there is a
112 separate option to enable X-Symbol.
