The Isabelle System Distribution
Version information
This is some unidentified repository version of Isabelle.
See the NEWS file in the distribution for details on user-relevant
changes.
System requirements
Isabelle requires a regular Unix platform (e.g. GNU Linux) with the
following additional software:
* A full Standard ML Compiler (works best with Poly/ML 5.3.0).
* The GNU bash shell (version 3.x or 2.x).
* Perl (version 5.x).
* GNU Emacs (version 22 or 23) -- for the Proof General interface.
* A complete LaTeX installation -- for document preparation.
Installation
Binary packages are available for Isabelle/HOL and ZF for several
platforms from the Isabelle web page. The system may be easily
built from scratch, using the tar.gz source distribution. See file
INSTALL as distributed with Isabelle for more information.
Further background information may be found in the Isabelle System
Manual, distributed with the sources (directory doc).
User interface
The main Isabelle user interface is Proof General by David Aspinall
and others. It is a generic Emacs interface for proof assistants,
including Isabelle. Proof General is suitable for use by pacifists
and Emacs militants alike. Its most prominent feature is script
management, providing a metaphor of live proof script editing.
Proof General also provides some support for mathematical symbols
displayed on screen.
