<H3>Notes</H3>
<P>
The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere.
It finds the libraries relative to the <CODE>.exe</CODE> file.
</P>
<P>
The MacOS tar package works on 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and probably
also 10.7 (Lion).
</P>
<P>
The MacOS and Linux <CODE>.tar.gz</CODE> packages are designed to be installed in <CODE>/usr/local</CODE>.
You can install them in other locations, but then you need to set the
<CODE>GF_LIB_PATH</CODE> environment variable:
</P>
<PRE>
export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.3.3/lib
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
where <CODE>/usr/local</CODE> should be replaced with the path to the location where you
unpacked the package.
</P>
<H2>Installing the latest release from source</H2>
<P>
<A HREF="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf">GF is on Hackage</A>, so the prodedure is
fairly simple:
</P>
<OL>
<LI>Install the <A HREF="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform">Haskell Platform</A>
(versions 2010.2.0.0 - 2011.4.0.0 should work) (see note 2 below)
<LI><CODE>cabal update</CODE>
<LI>On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution
(see note 1 below)
<LI><CODE>cabal install gf</CODE>
</OL>
<P>
You can also download the full source package from here:
<A HREF="gf-3.3.3.tar.gz"><CODE>gf-3.3.3.tar.gz</CODE></A>.
</P>
<H3>Notes</H3>
<P>
The above steps installs GF for a single user.
The executables are put in <CODE>$HOME/.cabal/bin</CODE>
(or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform on Mac OS X,
in <CODE>$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin</CODE>), so it is a good
idea to put a line in your <CODE>.bash_profile</CODE> to add that directory to you path:
</P>
<PRE>
PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
</PRE>
<P>
or
</P>
<PRE>
PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
<B>Note 1</B>.
GF uses <A HREF="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline"><CODE>haskeline</CODE></A>, which
depends some non-Haskell libraries that
won't be installed automatically by cabal, so you need to install
them manually. Here is one way to do this:
</P>
<UL>
<LI>On Ubuntu: <CODE>sudo apt-get install libghc6-terminfo-dev</CODE>
<LI>On Fedora: <CODE>sudo yum install ghc-terminfo-devel</CODE>
</UL>
<P>
<B>Note 2</B>.
GF does <B>not</B> compile with the most recent versions of GHC (>=7.2).
GF does <B>not</B> compile with the most recent versions of Alex (>=3.0).
</P>
<H2>Installing from the latest developer code</H2>
<P>
The first time:
</P>
<PRE>
darcs get --lazy http://www.grammaticalframework.org/ GF
cd GF
cabal install
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
Subsequently:
</P>
<PRE>
cd GF
darcs pull -a
cabal install
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
The above notes for installing from source apply also in this case.
