Downloading the Sources

As of version 4.3.2, sources are available only through Subversion (SVN) checkout. Each release is tagged - see the list of tags to find the tag for the release you want to checkout.

To checkout version 4.3.2 of the MLKit sources, execute the following shell command:

$ svn co https://mlkit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mlkit/tags/mlkit-4.3.2/kit mlkit-4.3.2

Release Numbers

The MLKit follows the convention that releases with odd minor release numbers (e.g., 3.1.12) are experimental releases whereas releases with even minor release numbers (e.g., 3.0.1) are stable releases. The convention only applies to the minor number. If x.y.z is a release number, y is called the minor release number.

Greetings from the MLKit

To try the newly installed MLKit, save the following SML code in a file greetings.sml in an empty directory somewhere on your system:

 val _ = print "Greetings from the MLKit\n"

Now, from within the directory, execute the shell command

 mlkit greetings.sml

As a result of the shell command, the MLKit produces a stand-alone executable file run. To compile programs that are comprised by more than one file, the MLKit provides the notion of ML Basis Files.
