Installing the SWI-Prolog binaries on MacOS X
Thanks to Jacobo Myerston (jacunix at cantv dot net) and
Paulo Moura (pmoura at noe dot ubi dot pt) for their help on
assembling this version as well as Xander Schrijen (xges at phil
dot uu dot nl) for sorting out shared-object-handling on MacOS X.
Jacobo produces binary packages on a regular basis. Please visit the SWI-Prolog home and download page
To install SWI-Prolog you must have XFree86 installed in your computer. Apple provides a free implementation of the X Window System that can be downloaded at here
Once you have installed XFree86 you just have to double click SWI-Prolog.mpkg. The installer will ask you for an administrator password, and you will have to agree the terms of the license.
The executable of SWI-Prolog is installed as
/usr/local/bin/swipl. Using normal setup, it can be started
by typing the command
swipl |
in a terminal window. This may fail if /usr/local/bin is
not in your `PATH'. In that case you can start SWI-Prolog by typing the
full path name or you have to modify PATH first.
The libraries and other resources are installed in
/usr/local/lib/swipl-<version>/
