| 14 | <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> | 
| 3306 | 62 | |
