Hipster is still under development, but feel free to play around with it! To install Hipster, you first need Isabelle, QuickSpec and HipSpec.
Isabelle is available from: http://isabelle.in.tum.de/index.html. Hipster works
with Isabelle 2015, preferably in jEdit if you want nice syntactic
sugar (use the branch Isabelle2014 if you want the Isabelle 2014
compatible version).
For a version compatible with the newest Isabelle 2016 (although
unstable due to further development), checkout the branch Isabelle2016.
To install the appropriate QuickSpec:
git clone https://github.com/nick8325/quickspec.git
cd quickspec
git checkout hipster
cabal install
To install HipSpec, you will need to run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/danr/hipspec
cd hipspec
git checkout hipster
cabal install
You will also have to compile the HipSpecifyer:
cabal install hipspecifyer/
Finally, you need to tell Isabelle where to find Hipster, by setting the
environment variable $HIPSTER_HOME in the file $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings
(create this file if it does not exist yet), where Isabelle normally has set
$ISABELLE_HOME_USER to $USER_HOME/.isabelle. $HIPSTER_HOME should then
point to the path for the IsaHipster directory you just cloned. See the
Isabelle System's Manual for more info on how to set up Isabelle's system
enviroment. Alternatively, you may set $HIPSTER_HOME in your bash environment
file, but then Isabelle will only find Hipster if you start it from the
terminal, so I would recommend the former approach.
If you want to use Hipster from an Isabelle theory file, it needs to import the
IsaHipster.thy file (which essentially sets up Hipster) by including the
line:
imports "$HIPSTER_HOME/IsaHipster"Now, you should be able to try Hipster. Start up Isabelle on for example
Examples/TreeDemo.thy and have a go.
Disclaimer: There are quite a few hacks around, and Hipster is not a polished and finished product by any means. Let us know if you run into anything too odd, and we'll try to fix it.
