-Isabelle installation notes
-===========================
-
-1) System installation
-----------------------
-
-The Isabelle distribution includes both complete sources and
-precompiled binary packages for common Unix-like platforms.
-
-
-Quick installation
-------------------
-
-Ready-to-go packages are provided for the ML compiler and runtime
-system, the Isabelle sources, and some major object-logics.  A minimal
-site installation of Isabelle on Linux/x86 works like this:
-
-  tar -C /usr/local -xzf Isabelle.tar.gz
-  tar -C /usr/local -xzf polyml.tar.gz
-  tar -C /usr/local -xzf HOL_x86-linux.tar.gz
-
-The install prefix given above may be changed as appropriate; there is
-no need to install into a system directory like /usr/local at all.  By
-default the ML system (and other contributed packages) are expected in
-any of the following locations:
-
-  1) [ISABELLE_HOME]/contrib
-  2) [ISABELLE_HOME]/..
-  4) /usr/local
-  3) /usr/share
-  5) /opt
-
-This may be changed by editing [ISABELLE_HOME]/etc/settings manually.
-
-The installation may be finished as follows:
-
-  cd [ISABELLE_HOME]
-  ./bin/isabelle install -p /usr/local/bin
-
-The install utility creates global references to the present Isabelle
-installation, enabling users to invoke the Isabelle executables
-without explicit path names.  This is the only place where a static
-reference to [ISABELLE_HOME] is created; thus isabelle install has to
-be run again whenever the Isabelle distribution is moved later.
-
-
-Compiling logics
-----------------
-
-The Isabelle.tar.gz archive already contains all Isabelle sources (and
-documentation).  Precompiled object-logics are provided for
-convenience.
-
-Assuming proper configuration of the underlying ML system
-(cf. Isabelle's etc/settings), further object-logics may be compiled
-like this:
-
-  [ISABELLE_HOME]/build FOL
-
-Special object-logic targets may be specified as follows:
-
-  [ISABELLE_HOME]/build -m HOL-Algebra HOL
-
-
-2) User installation
---------------------
-
-Running the Isabelle binaries
------------------------------
-
-Users may invoke the main Isabelle binaries (isabelle and
-isabelle-process) directly from their location within the distribution
-directory [ISABELLE_HOME] like this:
-
-  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin/isabelle tty -l HOL
-
-This starts an interactive Isabelle session within the current text
-terminal.  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin may be put into the shell's search
-PATH.  An alternative is to create global references to the Isabelle
-executables as follows:
-
-  [ISABELLE_HOME]/bin/isabelle install -p ~/bin
-
-Note that the site-wide Isabelle installation may already provide
-Isabelle executables in some global bin directory (such as
-/usr/local/bin).
