Installing Rosetta Stone

There are currently two ways to install the 0.5 version of Rosetta Stone:

• Binary downloads (only for tools)
• Debian packages
• From source

Binary Downloads of Rosetta Stone Tools

1. Download the rosetta binary from the appropriate location:

   • Linux i686
   • Linux x86_64
   • MacOS x86_64
   • Windows 7 i686

2. After the download, the rosetta file has to be made executable in most cases. This can be done for example by executing

   chmod +x rosetta
   

   in the download directory.

3. The various tools are provided as symbolic links to the single rosetta binary. When invoked, it prints a list of these links and offers to create them:

   $ ./rosetta
   [...]
   Create missing links now [yes/no]? y
   Creating symbolic link info -> rosseta
   [...]
   

   Note

   The links can also be created as follows:

   Non-interactively

   $ ./rosetta create-links
   

   Manually

   $ for alias in info bridge compiler ; do ln -s rosetta ${alias} ; done
   

From Source

Supported Lisp Implementations

Currently, only recent versions (e.g. 1.0.55 or newer) of SBCL are fully supported.

Required Infrastructure

• ASDF is used for compilation, loading and dependency management
• Quicklisp is used for installation of dependencies

Installation

1. Download other required systems:

   • cl-hooks

     bzr branch lp:cl-hooks
     

2. The whole source tree of Rosetta Stone can be obtained from the repository located at 0.5 branch of https://code.cor-lab.org/git/rosetta.git.

3. Load cl-rosetta with Quicklisp to pull in remaining dependencies

   (ql:quickload :cl-rosetta)
   

Debian Packages

Debian packages for several versions of Ubuntu GNU/Linux are available from the CoR-Lab package repository.

1. The following repository source line has to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list:

   deb http://packages.cor-lab.de/ubuntu/ RELEASENAME testing
   

   where RELEASENAME is the appropriate Ubuntu release name.

2. After that, packages can be installed via

   $ sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAMES
   

   where PACKAGENAMES is a subset of rosetta-cl0.5, rosetta-tools-cl0.5.

Warning

This installation method only works with Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
