Compilation

The simplest way to compile ARIBAS is the following:

Go to the subdirectory  src

This directory contains the necessary source files and
a Makefile

Give the command

	make

This will produce the executable file  aribas 
and some *.o files, which you can delete by the command

	make clean

To run ARIBAS, only the executable file aribas is necessary.
You can directly test it by the command

	./aribas

in this directory, 

Installation

To run ARIBAS also outside this directory by the simple 
command aribas, you should move it to a directory
which is in the PATH variable. For example, if you
have the corresponding write permission, you could
place it in /usr/local/bin.
Alternatively, create a subdirectory  bin  in your
home directory, if it doesn't already exist.
To test whether this directory is in the PATH variable,
you can give the command
	echo $PATH
If you don't find this bin directory in this path,
put the line
	PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
in your file  .bash_profile  or the corresponding file
which is used for that purpose on your system.

If you want to use online help from within ARIBAS, 
you need the file aribas.hlp (from the directory doc), 
which must also be placed in a directory which is in 
the PATH variable, for example in your own bin directory.

There is also an interface to run ARIBAS within the GNU Emacs
editor (version 19.xx or higher). The necessary Emacs Lisp file is
aribas.el in the subdirectory EL. Please read the corresponding
README file.
