INSTALLATION

Refer to the installation instructions in doc/reference/manual.pdf. Otherwise read on:

You need Java 1.6 JRE to run the Genyris interpreter. Check with your JRE version with:

$ java -version

Set your GENYRIS_HOME environment variable to the root folder where you unpacked the release. Add $GENYRIS_HOME/bin to your path. Make the file $GENYRIS_HOME/bin/genyris executable.

Start the command-line interpreter with Java:

$ genyris

You will see a welcome message followed by a prompt:

*** Welcome birchb, Genyris version NNN-xxxxxxxxxxxx.bb is listening...

Commands can now be typed, use two carriage returns to terminate each statement.

To test the installation run the self test suite with the following command:

sys:self-test

All being well, it will print ``OK'' and the number of tests passed.

Examples of Genyris code are in the examples folder and can be loaded as follows:

 > include "examples/queens.g"

And run:

 > run-queens 8
