What's new? See the [Release notes release-3.2.html].


== Binary packages for the latest release ==


| **Platform** | **Download** | **How to install**
| MacOS X | [gf-3.2-leopard.pkg gf-3.2-leopard.pkg] | Double-click on the package icon and follow the instructions
| MacOS X | [gf-3.2-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz gf-3.2-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz] | ``sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxf gf-3.2-bin-intel-mac.tar.gz``
| Windows | [gf-3.2-bin-i486-windows.zip gf-3.2-bin-i486-windows.zip] | ``unzip gf-3.2-bin-i486-windows.zip``
| Linux | [gf-3.2-bin-i486-linux.tar.gz gf-3.2-bin-i486-linux.tar.gz] | ``sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxf gf-3.2-bin-i486-linux.tar.gz``

===Notes===

The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. 
It finds the libraries relative to the ``.exe`` file.

The MacOS and Linux packages are designed to be installed in ``/usr/local``.
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-3.2/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 the prodedure is
fairly simple:

+ Install the
  [Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0 (July 2010) http://hackage.haskell.org/platform].
+ ``cabal update``
+ ``cabal install gf``


=== Notes ===

The above steps installs GF for a single user and does not require root
privileges. The executables are put in ``$HOME/.cabal/bin``, so it is a good
idea to put a line in your ``.bash_profile`` to add that directory to you path:

```
  PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
```
