[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/EasyCrypt/easycrypt.svg?branch=1.0)](https://travis-ci.org/EasyCrypt/easycrypt)
Installing requirements
====================================================================
EasyCrypt uses the following third-party tools/libraries:
* OCaml (>= 4.02)
Available at http://caml.inria.fr/
* OCamlbuild (only for OCaml >= 4.03)
* Why3 (>= 0.87)
Available at <http://why3.lri.fr/>
Why3 must be installed with a set a provers.
See <http://why3.lri.fr/#provers>
Why3 libraries must be installed (make byte && make install-lib)
* Menhir <http://gallium.inria.fr/~fpottier/menhir/>
* OCaml Batteries Included <http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org/>
* OCaml PCRE (>= 7) <https://github.com/mmottl/pcre-ocaml>
* OCaml ZArith <https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/zarith>
* OCaml ini-files <http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/ocaml-inifiles/>
On POSIX/Win32 systems (GNU/Linux, *BSD, OS-X), we recommend that users
install EasyCrypt and all its dependencies via `opam`.
Installing requirements using OPAM (POSIX systems)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting with opam 1.2.0, you can install all the needed dependencies
via the opam OCaml packages manager.
0. Optionally, switch to a dedicated compiler for EasyCrypt:
$> opam switch -A $OVERSION easycrypt
where $OVERSION is a valid OCaml version (e.g. 4.02.1)
1. Add the EasyCrypt repository:
$> opam repository add easycrypt git://github.com/EasyCrypt/opam.git
$> opam update
2. Optionally, select the EasyCrypt (git) branch you want to use:
$> opam pin -n add easycrypt https://github.com/EasyCrypt/easycrypt.git#branch
where `branch` is the branch name you want to use (e.g. `aprhl`).
In that case, we advise you to create a dedicated opam switch
(see first step above).
3. Optionally, use opam to install the system dependencies:
$> opam install depext
$> opam depext easycrypt
4. Add the EasyCrypt meta-packages:
$> opam install --deps-only easycrypt
$> opam install ec-provers
Opam can be easily installed from source or via your packages manager:
* On Ubuntu and derivatives:
$> add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa
$> apt-get update
$> apt-get install ocaml ocaml-native-compilers camlp4-extra opam
* On MacOSX using brew:
$> brew install ocaml opam
See [https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html] for how to install opam.
See [https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Usage.html] for how to initialize opam.
Installing requirements using OPAM (non-POSIX systems)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can install all the needed dependencies via the opam OCaml packages manager.
1. Install the opam Ocaml packages manager, following the instructions at:
https://fdopen.github.io/opam-repository-mingw/installation/
2. Add the EasyCrypt repository:
$> opam repository add easycrypt git://github.com/EasyCrypt/opam.git
$> opam update
3. Optionally, select the EasyCrypt (git) branch you want to use:
$> opam pin -n add easycrypt https://github.com/EasyCrypt/easycrypt.git#branch
where `branch` is the branch name you want to use (e.g. `aprhl`).
4. Use opam to install the system dependencies:
$> opam install depext depext-cygwinports
$> opam depext easycrypt
5. Add the EasyCrypt meta-packages:
$> opam install --deps-only easycrypt
$> opam install alt-ergo
6. You can download extra provers at the following URLs:
- Z3: https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3
- EProver: http://wwwlehre.dhbw-stuttgart.de/~sschulz/E/E.html
Configuring Why3
====================================================================
Before running EasyCrypt and after the installation/removal/update
of an SMT prover, you need to (re)configure Why3.
$> why3 config --detect
By EasyCrypt is using the default Why3 location, i.e. ~/.why3.conf.
If you have several versions of Why3 installed, it may be impossible
to share the same configuration file among them. EasyCrypt via the
option -why3, allows you to load a Why3 configuration file from a
custom location. For instance:
$> why3 config --detect -C $WHY3CONF.conf
$> ./ec.native -why3 $WHY3CONF.conf
where `$WHY3CONF` must be replaced by some custom location.
Installing/Compiling EasyCrypt
====================================================================
If installing from source, running
$> make
$> make install
builds and install EasyCrypt (under the binary named `easycrypt`),
assuming that all dependencies have been successfully installed. If
you choose not to install EasyCrypt system wide, you can use the
binary `ec.native` that is located at the root of the source tree.
It is possible to change the installation prefix by setting the
environment variable PREFIX:
$> make PREFIX=/my/prefix install
EasyCrypt comes also with an opam package. Running
$> opam install easycrypt
installs EasyCrypt and its dependencies via opam. In that case, the
EasyCrypt binary is named `easycrypt`.
Proof General Front-End
====================================================================
Installing using opam
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you installed the EasyCrypt dependencies using opam, you can
install ProofGeneral via opam too. Running
$> opam install proofgeneral
installs ProofGeneral along with its EasyCrypt mode. You still have to
tweak your emacs configuration file (~/.emacs) to load
ProofGeneral by adding the following line to it
(load-file "$proof-general-home/generic/proof-site.el")
where $proof-general-home should be replaced by
$prefix/share/proofgeneral
with $prefix being set to the output of
$> opam config var prefix
Installing from sources
--------------------------------------------------------------------
EasyCrypt mode has been integrated upstream. Please, go to
<https://github.com/ProofGeneral/PG> and follow the instructions.
