h1. Installation

h2. Prerequisites

* "Steel Bank Common Lisp [SBCL]":http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html

* Many people find "Emacs":http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ with "Slime":http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ useful for Common Lisp development.

* Common Lisp libraries: 

** "UFFI":http://uffi.bi.com 

** "CLSQL":http://clsql.b9.com

** "CL-PPCRE":http://www.weitz.de/cl-ppcre/

** "PS-Graph":http://www.cliki.net/psgraph

** "Midi":http://www.cliki.net/midi

These can be obtained using asdf-install, e.g.: 

<pre>

(require 'asdf-install)

(asdf-install:install "clsql")

</pre>

h2. Installation

h3. Manual

Each subdirectory in the code contains one or more system definition files with a <code>.asd</code> extension. The location of these files needs to be registered as follows:

<pre>

 (require :asdf) ; Load asdf.

 (push "/full/path/to/system/file" asdf:*central-registry*) ; Tell asdf where each system is registered.

</pre>

You may want to add these lines to your <code>.sbclrc</code> configuration file. 

An easy way to achieve the above is to symlink each <code>.asd</code> file to a single directory and add that to <code>asdf:*central-registry*</code>.

h3. Automated

Alternatively there is software available for managing library installation for common lisp:

* "Quicklisp":http://www.quicklisp.org/

* "CLBuild":http://common-lisp.net/project/clbuild/

* "CLBuild2":http://gitorious.org/clbuild2

These may also be used to install the dependencies listed above.
