You can install them in other locations, but then you need +to set the `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variable: + +``` +export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.10/lib +``` + +where `/usr/local` should be replaced with the path to the location +where you unpacked the package. --> + +## Installing the latest release from source + +[GF is on Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf), so under +normal circumstances the procedure is fairly simple: + +1. Install a recent version of the [Haskell + Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform) (see note below) +2. `cabal update` +3. On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution (see note below) +4. `cabal install gf` + +Note that this installs GF _without_ the RGL. + +You can also download full source packages from GitHub at the following links: + +- [GF releases](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases) +- [RGL releases](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases) + +### Notes + +**Installation location** + +The above steps installs GF for a single user. The executables are put +in `$HOME/.cabal/bin` (or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform +on Mac OS X, in `$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin`), so it is a good idea to +put a line in your `.bash_profile` or `.profile` to add that directory +to you path: + +``` +PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH +``` + +or + +``` +PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH +``` + +**Build tools** + +In order to compile GF you need the build tools **Alex** and **Happy**. +These can be installed via Cabal, e.g.: + +``` +cabal install alex happy +``` + +or obtained by other means, depending on your OS. + +**Haskeline** + +GF uses [`haskeline`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline), which +on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that won't be installed +automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed manually. +Here is one way to do this: + +- On Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev` +- On Fedora: `sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel` + +**GHC version** + +The GF source code has been updated to compile with GHC 8.4. +Using older versions of GHC (e.g. 8.2, 8.0 and 7.10) should still work too. + +## Installing from the latest developer source code + +If you haven't already, clone the repository with: + +``` +git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core.git +``` + +If you've already cloned the repository previously, update with: + +``` +git pull +``` + +Then install with: + +``` +cabal install +``` + +or, if you're a Stack user: + +``` +stack install +``` + +The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases. +For more info on working with the GF source code, see the +[GF Developers Guide](../doc/gf-developers.html). + +## Installing the RGL from source + +To install the RGL from source, +you can download a release from [GitHub](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases) +or get the latest version by cloning the repository: + +``` +git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl.git +``` + +In both cases, once you have the RGL sources you can install them by running: + +``` +make +``` + +in the RGL folder. +For more details about building the RGL, see the [RGL README](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/blob/master/README.md). + +## Older releases + +- [GF 3.9](index-3.9.html) (August 2017) +- [GF 3.8](index-3.8.html) (June 2016) +- [GF 3.7.1](index-3.7.1.html) (October 2015) +- [GF 3.7](index-3.7.html) (June 2015) +- [GF 3.6](index-3.6.html) (June 2014) +- [GF 3.5](index-3.5.html) (August 2013) +- [GF 3.4](index-3.4.html) (January 2013) +- [GF 3.3.3](index-3.3.3.html) (March 2012) +- [GF 3.3](index-3.3.html) (October 2011) +- [GF 3.2.9](index-3.2.9.html) source-only snapshot (September 2011) +- [GF 3.2](index-3.2.html) (December 2010) +- [GF 3.1.6](index-3.1.6.html) (April 2010) |
