Installing the scripts

Because these are Prolog scripts, no actual installation is needed after unpackaging the distribution. However:

• You must make sure that the utilities are accessible for execution. This means either copying them to a common directory (such as /usr/local/bin) or including the distribution directory in your path for executables (e.g., PATH).
• In order to run the scripts, you need to have installed previously a Prolog system which can run Prolog scripts (e.g., CIAO or SICStus with the prolog_shell package). The Prolog script processor (e.g., ciao-shell or prolog_shell) must also be accessible for execution, i.e., it must be in your execution path. Alternatively, you can edit the header of the scripts and put absolute file paths.

You may be also be able to run the code of the scripts from the top level of other Prolog systems by commenting out the headers and loading it into the Prolog system in the standard way.
