FriCAS

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.0.4

Notes:
fricas-1.0.4-full.tar.bz2 is a "full" source tarball containing pregenerated  Lisp  file and images. It also contains noweb.  You need to install Lisp compiler
before building FriCAS.  

FriCAS  1.0.4 should build on Linux, many Unix like systems (for example Mac OSX and Solaris 10) and Windows (see INSTALL).  To use graphics and HyperDoc under Windows see INSTALL.CYGWIN.

fricas-1.0.4.i386.tar.bz2 is 32-bit binary for i386 Linux.
fricas-1.0.4.amd64.tar.bz2 is 64-bit binary for amd64 (x86_64) Linux.  Binaries are _not_ specific to any
distribution, they should work equally well on various
distributions.  To install:
1) unpack the tarball
2) move usr/local/lib/fricas subdirectory to a convenient
   place
3) move scripts form usr/local/bin subdirectory to some
   place in the path
4) edit fricas and efricas scripts replacing  usr/local/lib
   by path you chose in step 2.
