# Grammatical Framework Download and Install

GF 2.0

August 10, 2004

### Linux

`GF-2.0-2.i586.rpm`: RPM package for RedHat and Mandrake
To install, use `rpm -i`

`GF-2.0-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tgz`: generic Intel binaries
To install, untar with `tar xvfz`, then read `src/INSTALL`

### Macintosh

`GF-2.0-powerpc-apple-macosx.tgz`: package with binaries
To install, untar with `tar xvfz`, then read `src/INSTALL`.

If you don't have GHC installed, you also need to download HaskellSupport.framework.tgz and unpack it in either `/Library/Frameworks` or `~/Library/Frameworks`. For more information, see Haskell Wiki.

### Microsoft Windows

`gf.exe`: package with binaries and example grammars, self-extracting installation package.
To install, execute `gf.exe`.

### Solaris

Binary coming soon; until then compile from source.

### Source package

`GF-2.0.tgz`: source and grammar package
Unpack with `tar xvfz GF-2.0.tgz`, and follow instructions in `GF-2.0/src/INSTALL`

You can compile GF from source on modern variants of Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

You need GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler), version 6 or later.

For the editor GUI, you also need Java, version 1.4

On Windows, you moreover need the Cygwin environment to compile with GHC.

### Running GF

Without the GUI:

      gf

With the GUI:

      jgf

On Windows, using the `jgf` command requires the Cygwin environment. Alternatively, if you use the binary installation (recommended) you can run GF (both with and without GUI) from the Start menu.

### Grammar package

`gf-lib.tgz`

### Bonus

Install the Flite Speech Synthesizer to get the Speak Aloud command (`sa`).
