5.6 macOS
We prepare a Homebrew formula for SML#. After setting up Homebrew, invoke the following commands in order to install SML# and its dependent libraries.
brew tap smlsharp/smlsharp
brew install smlsharp
We show some more details below.
-
1.
Consult http://brew.sh/ and set up Homebrew.
-
2.
Tap the git repository provided by the SML# development team so that the SML#-related pacakges are added to the Homebrew system.
brew tap smlsharp/smlsharp
This repository includes the formulae (packages) and bottles (binary packages) of the MassiveThread library and SML# compiler. Bottles are provided only for the latest version of macOS when SML# is released.
-
3.
Install the SML# compiler by the following command.
brew install smlsharp
Prerequisite libraries, such as LLVM and MassiveThreads, are also automatically installed. If you use macOS for which the bottles are not provided, MassiveThreads and SML# are built from source and therefore the command takes a long time.
