+
+**GF 3.4** was released on 31 January 2013.
+
+What's new? See the [Release notes release-3.4.html].
+
+
+== Binary packages ==
+
+| **Platform** | **Download** | **How to install**
+| ... | ... | ...
+
+More packages might be added later.
+
+===Notes===
+
+The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere.
+It finds the libraries relative to the ``.exe`` file.
+
+%The ``.deb`` packages work on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
+
+%The ``.pkg`` package works on MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
+The MacOS tar package works on 10.6 (Leopard), 10.7 (Lion)
+and 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
+
+The MacOS and Linux ``.tar.gz`` 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-3.4/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 http://hackage.haskell.org/platform]
+ version 2012.4.0.0 (see notes 2&3 below)
++ ``cabal update``
++ On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution
+ (see note 1 below)
++ ``cabal install gf``
+
+
+You can also download the full source package from here:
+[``gf-3.4.tar.gz`` gf-3.4.tar.gz].
+
+=== Notes ===
+
+The above steps installs GF for a single user.
+% and does not require root privileges.
+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`` to add that directory to you path:
+
+```
+ PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
+```
+or
+```
+ PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+**Note 1**.
+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 libghc6-terminfo-dev``
+- On Fedora: ``sudo yum install ghc-terminfo-devel``
+
+
+**Note 2**.
+GF 3.4 does **not** compile with the most recent versions of GHC (>=7.6).
+We recommend using GHC 7.4 (which is part of the Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0).
+Older versions of GHC (6.12 and 7.0) still works for the most part.
+(For example, there is a issue with error reporting in ``gf -server``
+when compiled with GHC 7.0.)
+%GF does **not** compile with the most recent versions of Alex (>=3.0).
+
+**Note 3**.
+[The Haskell Platform for Mac OS X http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html]
+page states that you need Xcode 3.2 or later, but in fact it appears you need
+Xcode 3.2.3 or later. If you have Xcode 3.2.2, you can get an error from the
+linker: ``ld: unknown option: -no_pie``.
+
+==Installing from the latest developer code==
+
+The first time:
+%, assuming you already have the Haskell Platform and darcs
+
+```
+ darcs get --lazy http://www.grammaticalframework.org/ GF
+ cd GF
+ cabal install
+```
+
+Subsequently:
+
+```
+ cd GF
+ darcs pull -a
+ cabal install
+```
+
+The above notes for installing from source apply also in this case.
+For more info, see the [GF Developers Guide ../doc/gf-developers.html].
