<h1>The Isabelle System Distribution</h1> |
|
15 |
||
16 |
<h2>Version information</h2> |
|
17 |
||
| 16327 | 18 |
<p>This is the internal repository version of Isabelle. See the |
| 11575 | 19 |
<tt>NEWS</tt> file in the distribution for details on user-relevant |
| 16327 | 20 |
changes.</p> |
| 3259 | 21 |
|
22 |
<h2>System requirements</h2> |
|
23 |
||
| 17547 | 24 |
<p>Isabelle requires a regular Unix platform (e.g. GNU Linux) with the |
25 |
following additional software:</p> |
|
| 3259 | 26 |
|
27 |
<ul> |
|
| 17547 | 28 |
<li>A full Standard ML Compiler (e.g. Poly/ML 4.1.x, SML/NJ 110.x).</li> |
29 |
<li>The GNU bash shell (version 2.x).</li> |
|
30 |
<li>Perl (version 5.x).</li> |
|
31 |
<li>XEmacs (version 21.4.x) -- for the ProofGeneral interface.</li> |
|
32 |
<li>A complete LaTeX installation (e.g. teTeX 1.0) -- for document preparation.</li> |
|
| 3259 | 33 |
</ul> |
34 |
||
35 |
<h2>Installation</h2> |
|
36 |
||
| 16327 | 37 |
<p>Binary packages are available for Isabelle/HOL and ZF for several |
| 14007 | 38 |
platforms from the Isabelle web page. The system may be easily built |
39 |
from scratch as well, taking the traditional tar.gz source |
|
40 |
distribution. See file <tt>INSTALL</tt> as distributed with Isabelle |
|
| 16327 | 41 |
for more information.</p> |
| 8809 | 42 |
|
| 16327 | 43 |
<p>Further background information may be found in the <em>Isabelle System |
44 |
Manual</em>, distributed with the sources (directory <tt>doc</tt>).</p> |
|
| 3259 | 45 |
|
| 9927 | 46 |
<h2>User interface</h2> |
| 6077 | 47 |
|
| 16327 | 48 |
<p>The canonical Isabelle user interface is <a |
| 14298 | 49 |
href="http://proofgeneral.inf.ed.ac.uk/">Proof General</a> by David Aspinall |
| 10079 | 50 |
and others. It is a generic (X)Emacs interface for proof assistants, |
51 |
including Isabelle (both for the classic and Isar version). Proof |
|
52 |
General is suitable for use by pacifists and Emacs militants |
|
53 |
alike. Its most prominent feature is script management, providing a |
|
54 |
metaphor of <em>live proof script editing</em>. Proof General has |
|
55 |
recently gained a rather large following of both beginning and expert |
|
| 16327 | 56 |
users of Isabelle.</p> |
| 8809 | 57 |
|
| 16327 | 58 |
<p>Proof General is distributed together with the XEmacs |
| 13141 | 59 |
<a href="http://x-symbol.sourceforge.net"> |
| 9927 | 60 |
X-Symbol package</a>, which provides a nice way to get proper |
| 16327 | 61 |
mathematical symbols displayed on screen.</p> |
