Amzi! Prolog + Logic Server Installation Instructions

Command Line Tools

Uncompress the distribution files into a directory, say *amzi*. That will create an *apls* sub directory. For example:

amzi
  apls
    bin
    abin
    . . .

The listener is in the bin directory, called *alis(.exe)*. You can run it from there.

Alternatively, to use the command line tools, you might want to create an environment variable AMZI_DIR that points to the *apls* directory of the installation. (Don’t point it elsewhere, some internal functions use it if it’s defined and expect it to point to the *apls* directory.)

And put the AMZI_DIR/bin directory on the PATH.

IDE

Download the amzi_eclipse_plugin.

If you created an *amzi* directory, as above, then create an *amzi/ide* directory, and in it download and install a copy of Eclipse, such as the one for Java development.

Use the Eclipse tools to add the plug-in. It’s in the help menu, under install new software. You’ll need to point it to the directory where you unzipped the plug-in.

NOTE that it is important, especially on a Unix environments, that the relative position of the directories be as follows. This is how the Eclipse plugin finds Amzi! if it can’t access an AMZI_DIR environment variable. (Which it often can’t, for example, on the Mac.)

amzi
  ide
    eclipse(.app/.exe)
  apls
    bin
    . . .

If you are using an existing copy of Eclipse on your machine, then you should move the *apls* directory next to it in the same relative position as above.

NOTE that the uninstall may not work as expected. While, on the one hand, it works, you can uninstall, and then install a new version, on the other hand it leaves the old amzi plug-ins (5 of them) still in the Eclipse.app plugin directory, although it does remove the feature. It also leaves them in the artifact.xml file. ISSUE — if someone wants to work on this, that would be great.
