The MacOS packages are installed by clicking at the icons, as usual.

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

To install a binary package for Linux: uncompress the executable and put it somewhere on your path, renaming it to just gf. For instance:

    gunzip gf-bin-[version].gz
    sudo mv gf-bin-[version] /usr/local/bin/gf

To install the libraries (if done separately), unpack them in the place to which your GF_LIB_PATH points.

    cd $GF_LIB_PATH
    gtar xvfz gf-lib-[VERSION].tgz

If this variable hasn't been defined, it is useful define it, e.g.

    export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gf/

To compile and install from source on Mac or Linux, do:

    tar xvfz gf-[VERSION].tgz
    cd GF/src
    runghc Setup configure --user
    runghc Setup build
    runghc Setup install

The last command must be prefixed by sudo, if the installation is outside user-writeable area.
