5. INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
Installing Logtalk is just a matter of uncompressing/unpacking the
|
|
distribution archive file for your operating system. You can install
|
|
Logtalk in any directory that you find convenient.
|
|
|
|
See the user manual for a description of the source files organization and
|
|
for installing/using instructions (to read the user manual open the file
|
|
manuals/index.html with a web browser).
|
|
|
|
In Unix and Unix-like systems you may want to define an environment variable
|
|
named $LOGTALKHOME pointing to the Logtalk installation for use with your
|
|
Prolog compilers. If you use a csh shell, add the following line to your
|
|
.cshrc file:
|
|
|
|
setenv LOGTALKHOME "/your/installation/directory/lgt2160"
|
|
|
|
If you use a bash shell, add the following lines to your .profile file:
|
|
|
|
LOGTALKHOME="/your/installation/directory/lgt2160"
|
|
export LOGTALKHOME
|
|
|
|
|
|
