The below instructions apply only to the *distribution version* of
|
|
|
|
|
the Scyther tool. If you are working from the source files, some paths may be
|

|
|
|
slightly different, and it is recommended to follow the instructions in [../README.md](../README.md).

Running the scyther tool
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Graphical user interface ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The graphical user interface can be started by running `scyther-gui.py`,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g., enter the following in a terminal and press return
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python ./scyther-gui.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Command-line usage ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the directory `./Scyther` there should be an executable for the
|
|
|
|
|
Scyther backend. Its name depends on the platform:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `scyther-linux` (Linux)
|
|
|
|
|
* `scyther-w32` (Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
* `scyther-mac` (Mac OS X)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this executable does not exist, you probably downloaded the source
|
|
|
|
|
files, and will need to compile it first. See `../README.md` for further
|
|
|
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also various test scripts (for usage in Linux) in this
|
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|

|

|
|
