NOTE: A quicker and even easier install may be possible, by instead obtaining a pre-built binary distribution if one is available for your platform. Otherwise:
acl2/v5-0/
.acl2-sources/
:tar xfz acl2.tar.gz
acl2-sources/
directory.
acl2-sources/
to create
directory books/
:tar xfz books-5.0.tar.gz
acl2-sources/
directory
and typing the following, which may take a few minutes to complete.
Note: You will need Gnu make. We have seen
problems with Version 3.81 of that utility, so if you encounter
errors, please consider our instructions for downloading and
installing GNU make version 3.80. (That said, in builds with
Allegro Common Lisp we have seen problems certifying books with GNU
make version 3.80 that seemed to be solved with version 3.81.)
make LISP=<path_to_your_lisp_executable>
books/
directory. (Further
instructions are
here.)
-j N
if you have an N-core machine, N>1):
make regression
saved_acl2
(from step 6)
and access to certified distributed books (from step 8). Enjoy!
