Version information

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: This is Isabelle-94 revision 8 as of May wenzelm@3259: 1997. Basically, it should be backwards compatible to earlier wenzelm@3259: Isabelle-94 releases. Older versions (like Isabelle-93) are quite wenzelm@3259: different, though. See also the NEWS file in the distribution wenzelm@3259: for a more detailed list of new features and changes. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

System requirements

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Isabelle requires a real Unix box with sufficient resources. Fun wenzelm@3259: starts at about 32MB of RAM (somewhat depending on your ML system), wenzelm@3259: several tens of MB disk space and with a relatively fast CPU. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Furthermore, it needs the following software, which is not part of the wenzelm@3259: distribution: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: The ML system and GNU bash are absolutely essential. Perl is optional wenzelm@3259: for core functionality, but still highly recommended. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: The following ML system and platform combinations are known to work wenzelm@3259: quite well: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Poly/ML is a commercial product and costs money, but it is stable and wenzelm@3259: efficient. It requires relatively little memory (starting at about wenzelm@3259: 16MB) and disk space (about 40MB for all distributed object logics). wenzelm@3259: See here for more wenzelm@3259: information. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: SML/NJ needs lots of store and disk space, but it is free. The last wenzelm@3260: official release is 0.93. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Recent working versions may be better suited, under normal wenzelm@3259: circumstances. Beware of the many incompatibilities among SML/NJ wenzelm@3259: versions! From the 1.09.x family, we now only support 1.09.27, or wenzelm@3259: later. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: To obtain Standard ML of New Jersey, see the here. An wenzelm@3259: unofficial pre-built binary distribution of SML/NJ 1.09.27 for Linux wenzelm@3259: is available here. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:
