     3.5 -Isabelle installation notes
     3.6 -===========================
     3.7 -
     3.8 -1) System installation
     3.9 -----------------------
    3.10 -
    3.11 -The Isabelle distribution includes both complete sources and
    3.12 -precompiled binary packages for common Unix-like platforms.
    3.13 -
    3.14 -
    3.15 -Quick installation
    3.16 -------------------
    3.17 -
    3.18 -Ready-to-go packages are provided for the ML compiler and runtime
    3.19 -system, the Isabelle sources, and some major object-logics.  A minimal
    3.20 -site installation of Isabelle on Linux/x86 works like this:
    3.21 -
    3.22 -  tar -C /usr/local -xzf Isabelle.tar.gz
    3.23 -  tar -C /usr/local -xzf polyml.tar.gz
    3.24 -  tar -C /usr/local -xzf HOL_x86-linux.tar.gz
    3.25 -
    3.26 -The install prefix given above may be changed as appropriate; there is
    3.27 -no need to install into a system directory like /usr/local at all.  By
    3.28 -default the ML system (and other contributed packages) are expected in
    3.29 -any of the following locations:
    3.30 -
    3.31 -  1) [ISABELLE_HOME]/contrib
    3.32 -  2) [ISABELLE_HOME]/..
    3.33 -  4) /usr/local
    3.34 -  3) /usr/share
    3.35 -  5) /opt
    3.36 -
    3.37 -This may be changed by editing [ISABELLE_HOME]/etc/settings manually.
    3.38 -
    3.39 -The installation may be finished as follows:
    3.40 -
    3.41 -  cd [ISABELLE_HOME]
    3.42 -  ./bin/isabelle install -p /usr/local/bin
    3.43 -
    3.44 -The install utility creates global references to the present Isabelle
    3.45 -installation, enabling users to invoke the Isabelle executables
    3.46 -without explicit path names.  This is the only place where a static
    3.47 -reference to [ISABELLE_HOME] is created; thus isabelle install has to
    3.48 -be run again whenever the Isabelle distribution is moved later.
    3.49 -
    3.50 -
    3.51 -Compiling logics
    3.52 -----------------
    3.53 -
    3.54 -The Isabelle.tar.gz archive already contains all Isabelle sources (and
    3.55 -documentation).  Precompiled object-logics are provided for
    3.56 -convenience.
    3.57 -
    3.58 -Assuming proper configuration of the underlying ML system
    3.59 -(cf. Isabelle's etc/settings), further object-logics may be compiled
    3.60 -like this:
    3.61 -
    3.62 -  [ISABELLE_HOME]/build FOL
    3.63 -
    3.64 -Special object-logic targets may be specified as follows:
    3.65 -
    3.66 -  [ISABELLE_HOME]/build -m HOL-Algebra HOL
    3.67 -
    3.68 -
    3.69 -2) User installation
    3.70 ---------------------
    3.71 -
    3.72 -Running the Isabelle binaries
    3.73 ------------------------------
    3.74 -
    3.75 -Users may invoke the main Isabelle binaries (isabelle and
    3.76 -isabelle-process) directly from their location within the distribution
    3.77 -directory [ISABELLE_HOME] like this:
    3.78 -
    3.79 -  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin/isabelle tty -l HOL
    3.80 -
    3.81 -This starts an interactive Isabelle session within the current text
    3.82 -terminal.  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin may be put into the shell's search
    3.83 -PATH.  An alternative is to create global references to the Isabelle
    3.84 -executables as follows:
    3.85 -
    3.86 -  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin/isabelle install -p ~/bin
    3.87 -
    3.88 -Note that the site-wide Isabelle installation may already provide
    3.89 -Isabelle executables in some global bin directory (such as
    3.90 -/usr/local/bin).
