-For step by step instructions for downloading and building
-using CYGWIN see BuildOnCygwin
-
-There is yet another alternative, which is called "andLinux".

-Finally, note that in the instructions we use CLISP as 
-Common Lisp implementation. In principle, it should work with 
-any Common Lisp with a little patching.  You can find details

Building on Linux

Please read the INSTALL file in the FriCAS? distribution, which you can get via git as

git clone http://github.com/fricas/fricas fricas

or from

http://fricas.sourceforge.net/download.html

Building on Windows

FriCAS? also works with MinGW? (see BuildOnWindows?), but currently you won't get graphics nor HyperDoc? (the help facility), so if you are mainly interested in "using" FriCAS?, WSL is the better bet.

If you encounter any difficulties, please don't hesitate to ask. We are grateful for every bit that improves the MS Windows port!
