Installing from sources
Currently, the only intended way to install Matita is starting from its source
In order to build Matita from sources you will need some tools and libraries.
They are listed below.
-Note for Debian users
-
-If you are running a Debian GNU/Linux distribution you can have APT install all
-the required tools and libraries by adding the following repository to your /
-etc/apt/sources.list:
+Note for Debian (and derivatives) users
- deb http://people.debian.org/~zack unstable helm
+If you are running a Debian GNU/Linux distribution, or any of its derivative
+like Ubuntu, you can use APT to install all the required tools and libraries
+since they are all part of the Debian archive.
+apt-get install ocaml ocaml-findlib libgdome2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev
+liblablgtkmathview-ocaml-dev liblablgtksourceview-ocaml-dev
+libsqlite3-ocaml-dev libocamlnet-ocaml-dev libzip-ocaml-dev libhttp-ocaml-dev
+ocaml-ulex08 libexpat-ocaml-dev libmysql-ocaml-dev camlp5
-and installing the helm-matita-deps package.
+An official debian package is going to be added to the archive too.
Required tools and libraries
SQL database and OCaml bindings for its client-side library
- The SQL database itself is not strictly needed to run Matita, but we
- stronly encourage its use since a lot of features are disabled without it.
- Still, the OCaml bindings of the library are needed at compile time.

+ client libraries are.

-Database setup
+(optional) MySQL setup
-To fully exploit Matita indexing and search capabilities you will need a
-working MySQL database. Detalied instructions on how to do it can be found in
-the MySQL documentation. Here you can find a quick howto.
+To fully exploit Matita indexing and search capabilities on a huge metadata set

In order to create a database you need administrator permissions on your MySQL
installation, usually the root account has them. Once you have the permissions,
sources for compilation and installation.
Quite a few (optional) arguments may be passed to the configure command line to
-change build time parameters. They are listed in the table below, together with
-their default values.

+change build time parameters. They are listed below, together with their
+default values:
+
+configure command line arguments
+
+--with-runtime-dir=dir
+
+ (Default: /usr/local/matita) Runtime base directory where all Matita stuff
+ (executables, configuration files, standard library, ...) will be installed
+
+--with-dbhost=host
+
+ (Default: localhost) Default SQL server hostname. Will be used while
+ building the standard library during the installation and to create the
+ default Matita configuration. May be changed later in configuration file.
+
+--enable-debug
+
+ (Default: disabled) Enable debugging code. Not for the casual user.
Then you will manage the build and install process using make as usual. Below
-are reported the targets you have to invoke in sequence to build and install.

- builds components needed by Matita and Matita itself (in bytecode only or
- in both bytecode and native code depending on the availability of the OCaml
- native code compiler)

-library
+install
- uses the (just built) matitac compiler to build the Matita standard
- library.
+ installs Matita related tools, standard library and the needed runtime
+ stuff in the proper places on the filesystem.
+
+ As a part of the installation process the Matita standard library will be
+ compiled, thus testing that the just built matitac compiler works properly.
For this step you will need a working SQL database (for indexing the
standard library while you are compiling it). See Database setup for
instructions on how to set it up.
