Copyright (C) 1990, 2008 Association of Mizar Users This version of the Mizar system has been precompiled with Free Pascal Compiler (ver. 2.0.0) for i386 compatible machines running the FreeBSD operating system. The package contains the Mizar processor, the Mizar database, a set of utility programs, and GNU Emacs Lisp mode for convenient work with the system. All Mizar articles constituting the Mizar Mathematical Library (MML) and their abstracts are also included in this release. 1. Hardware requirements This version of the Mizar system has been tested on FreeBSD 5.1 but it should also work on other FreeBSD systems. The installation requires about 160 MB of free disk space. 2. Installing the system The script 'install.sh' unpacks the Mizar system to specified directories. In most cases it is enough to call ./install.sh and then answer three questions about the place where files should be copied. There are two options that may be used with this script: ./install.sh --default runs the script in non-interactive mode (see below for default directories), ./install.sh --nodialog always runs the script in plain mode (without 'dialog' utility) getting input directly from STDIN (useful for writing scripts). When run in interactive mode, first you must provide a name of a directory where you want to install Mizar executables (default is /usr/local/bin). Make sure this directory is in your PATH variable. Then you will be prompted to choose a directory for Mizar shared files (default is /usr/local/share/mizar). NOTE: After the installation you must set a variable MIZFILES to point to this directory. Otherwise, the system will not find the database correctly. Finally you will be asked about a directory where Mizar documentation files should be placed (default is /usr/local/doc/mizar). ********************************************************************** Note that a new version always replaces an old one completely if the same directories are specified during both installations. ********************************************************************** For more information on the Mizar system look at the Mizar home page: http://mizar.org/ With any questions or comments please contact Mizar User Service: mus@mizar.uwb.edu.pl
