2. Getting Started

CL-STORE uses asdf as it's system definition tool and is required whenever you load the package. You will need to download it, or if you have sbcl (require 'asdf)

2.1 Downloading

• ASDF-INSTALL CL-STORE is available through asdf-install. If you are new to Common Lisp this is the suggested download method. With asdf-install loaded run (asdf-install:install :cl-store) This will download and install the package for you. Asdf-install will try to verify that the package signature is correct and that you trust the author. If the key is not found or the trust level is not sufficient a continuable error will be signalled. You can choose to ignore the error and continue to install the package. See the documentation of asdf-install for more details.
• DOWNLOAD

  The latest cl-store release will always be available from cl.net. Download and untar in an appropriate directory then symlink `cl-store.asd' to a directory on asdf:*central-registry* (see the documentation for asdf for details about setting up asdf).

• CVS

  If you feel the need to be on the bleeding edge you can use anonymous CVS access, see the Home Page for more details for accessing the archive. Once downloaded follow the symlink instructions above.

2.2 Installing

Once downloaded and symlinked you can load CL-STORE at anytime using (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl-store) This will compile CL-STORE the first time it is loaded.

2.3 Testing

Once installed you can run the regression tests for it. The tests depend on the Regression Tests asdf package which is asdf-installable. The tests can be run be executing (asdf:oos 'asdf:test-op :cl-store)

If any tests fail please send a message to one of the Mailing Lists.
