General Installation Notes

Requirements

1. The Haskell Platform; ghc versions 7.10.3 and 8.0.1 are currently supported; available from https://www.haskell.org/platform/
2. The Z3 theorem prover; version 4.4.1 or later; available from https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/releases

Set up

This assumes that you are in the Caper root directory, that Z3 is at $Z3PATH and that $Z3PATH/bin is in the system path. You may also need $Z3PATH/bin in the path to search for dynamic libraries. On Linux:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$Z3PATH/bin

On OS X:

  export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$Z3PATH/bin

First, create a cabal sandbox for Caper:

  cabal sandbox init

Next, install the dependencies:

  cabal update
  cabal install --dependencies-only --extra-include-dirs=$Z3PATH/include --extra-lib-dirs=$Z3PATH/bin

Now build Caper:

  cabal configure --enable-tests
  cabal build

Create the configuration file by copying the defaults (optionally editing):

  cp config.ini.default config.ini

Now you can run Caper:

  dist/build/Caper/Caper examples/recursive/SpinLock.t

Or the regression tests:

  dist/build/RunTests/RunTests
