Features: GF = GF shell and grammar compiler and the Resource Grammar Library, S = ``gf -server`` mode, C = C run-time system, J/P = Java/Python binding to the C run-time system %More binary packages might be added later. ===Notes=== The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. %It finds the libraries relative to the ``.exe`` file. You will probably need to set the ``PATH`` and ``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment variables, see Inari's notes on [Installing GF on Windows http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3]. %The new experimental MINGW package is for use in the %[MINGW http://www.mingw.org] environment in Windows. Unpack it in the MSYS shell %(which is started with ``C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat``). %It should work out of the box without any additional settings. The ``.deb`` packages should work on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04 and similar Linux distributions. The packages for macOS (Mac OS X) should work on at least 10.11 and 10.12 (El Capitan and Sierra). %(*) **Note** that for compatibility with OS X 10.11 and newer, %``gf-3.9.pkg`` will install the ``gf`` executable in ``/usr/local/bin`` %instead of ``/usr/bin``, so make sure ``/usr/local/bin`` is in your ``$PATH``. %Also, if you still have an older version of GF installed in ``/usr/bin``, %remove it and/or make sure ``/usr/local/bin`` comes before ``/usr/bin`` %in your ``$PATH`` so you don't accidentally run the old version. The Mac OS and Linux ``.tar.gz`` packages are designed to be installed in ``/usr/local``. You can install them in other locations, but then you need to set the ``GF_LIB_PATH`` environment variable: ``` export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.9/lib ``` where ``/usr/local`` should be replaced with the path to the location where you unpacked the package. ==Installing the latest release from source== [GF is on Hackage http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf], so under normal circumstances the prodedure is fairly simple: + Install a recent version of the [Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform], e.g. version 7.10.3 (see note 2 below) + ``cabal update`` + On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution (see note 1 below) + ``cabal install gf`` You can also download the full source package from here: [``gf-3.9.tar.gz`` gf-3.9.tar.gz]. === Notes === The above steps installs GF for a single user. % and does not require root privileges. The executables are put in ``$HOME/.cabal/bin`` (or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform on Mac OS X, in ``$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin``), so it is a good idea to put a line in your ``.bash_profile`` or ``.profile`` to add that directory to you path: ``` PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH ``` or ``` PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH ``` **Note 1**. GF uses [``haskeline`` http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline], which on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that won't be installed automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed manually. Here is one way to do this: - On Ubuntu: ``sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev`` - On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel`` **Note 2**. The GF source code has been updated to compile with GHC 8.2.1. Using older versions of GHC (e.g. 8.0.x and 7.10.3) should still work too. %=== Known problems === % %There seems to be a bug in some versions of Cabal that can cause % %``` % Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs:124:8-13: Assertion failed %``` % %if the same version of GF is %already installed. If you encounter this, you can use ``ghc-pkg unregister gf`` %to remove the installed version of GF and ``ghc-pkg list gf`` to verify that %it is gone. ==Installing from the latest developer source code== The first time: %, assuming you already have the Haskell Platform and darcs ``` git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF.git cd GF cabal install ``` Subsequently: ``` cd GF git pull cabal install ``` %Alternatively, you can get the code from the %[GF GitHub https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/] mirror, which is %updated nightly. The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases.
