Isabelle Packages
%body%
<p>
The following source and binary packages of <!-- _GP_ distname -->
provide everything required for easy installation of the full Isabelle
working environment on common Unix platforms.
<p>
A <em>minimal</em> Isabelle installation requires only <tt>bash</tt>
and <tt>perl</tt> (usually provided by the operating system), and a
suitable implementation of Standard ML (e.g. Poly/ML as provided
below). A <em>comfortable</em> Isabelle working environment demands
further user interface support, as provided by <a
href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/proofgen/">Proof General</a>
together with the (optional) <a
href="http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/">X-Symbol</a>
package. Both of these should be used with a recent version of <a
href="http://www.xemacs.org">XEmacs</a> (e.g. version 21.1).
<p>
We provide ready-to-go packages for Isabelle, Proof General and
X-Symbol. While XEmacs-21 is not included here, most operating system
distributions already provide suitable packages, although not
installed by default.
<p>
Following the example installation procedures below, there is
<em>no</em> separate configuration required of any of these
components. After installation, users may invoke the Isabelle
executables without further ado.
<p>
<h2>(1) Linux/x86 systems with RPM</h2>
This version of the <!-- _GP_ distname --> distribution is for generic
Linux/x86 systems with RPM package management, as used by most Linux
distributions. Note that <tt>rpm</tt> requires root user access for
installation.

Example installation procedure (the location of <tt>--prefix
/usr/share</tt> may be changed):
<pre>
rpm -i --prefix /usr/share polyml.i386.rpm
rpm -i --prefix /usr/share isabelle.rpm
rpm -i --prefix /usr/share isabelle-HOL.i386.rpm
rpm -i --prefix /usr/share proofgeneral.rpm
rpm -i --prefix /usr/share xsymbol.rpm
</pre>
Note that installed RPMs may be removed like this:
<pre>
rpm -e xsymbol proofgeneral isabelle-HOL isabelle polyml
</pre>

<h2>(2) Other Linux/x86 or Solaris/Sparc systems</h2>
The following <!-- _GP_ distname --> distribution works for any
Linux/x86 or Solaris/Sparc system. Installation does not rely on
package management at all.
