MicroTESK is a set of Java-based utilities that are run from the command line. It can be used on *_Windows_*, *_Linux_* and *_OS X_* machines that have *_JDK 1.7 or later_* installed. To build MicroTESK from source code or to build generated Java models, *_Apache Ant version 1.8_ or later* is required. To generate test data based on constraints, MicroTESK needs *_Microsoft Research Z3_* that can work under the corresponding operating system.

h3. Installation Steps
10 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
11 64 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Download from http://forge.ispras.ru/projects/microtesk/files and unpack the MicroTESK installation package (the @.tar.gz@ file, latest release) to your computer. The folder to which it was unpacked will be further referred to as the installation directory (@<installation dir>@).
12 53 Andrei Tatarnikov
# [Not required for MicroTESK 2.1 beta] Download and install constraint solver tools to the @<installation dir>/tools@ directory (see the *Installing Constraint Solvers* section).
13 46 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Declare the *MICROTESK_HOME* environment variable and set its value to the path to the installation directory (see the *Setting Environment Variables* section).
14 60 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Set the @<installation dir>/bin@ as the working directory (add the path to the @PATH@ environment variable) to be able to run MicroTESK utilities from any path.
15 33 Alexander Kamkin
# Now you can run the @compile.sh@ (or @.bat@) script to create a microprocessor model and the @generate.sh@ (or @.bat@) script to generate test for this model.

23
# Click on Environment Variables.
24
# Click "New.." under "System Variables".
25 63 Andrei Tatarnikov
# In the "New System Variable" dialog specify variable name as @MICROTESK_HOME@ and variable value as @<installation dir>@.
26 50 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Click "OK" on all open windows.
27
# Reopen the command prompt window.

31 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
Add the command below to the @~.bash_profile@ file (Linux) or the @~/.profile@ file (OS X):
32 61 Andrei Tatarnikov
<pre>export MICROTESK_HOME=<installation dir></pre> To start editing the file, type @vi ~/.bash_profile@ (or @vi ~/.profile@). Changes will be applied after restarting the command-line terminal or reboot. You can also execute the command in your command-line terminal to make temporary changes.

To generate test data based on constraints, MicroTESK requires external constraint solver engines. The current version uses the Z3 constraint solver by Microsoft Research (http://z3.codeplex.com/). The Z3 executable should be downloaded and placed to the @<installation dir>/tools@ directory.
39 18 Andrei Tatarnikov
40 68 Andrei Tatarnikov
* Windows users should download Z3 (32 or 64-bit version) from the following page: http://z3.codeplex.com/releases and unpack the archive to the @<installation dir>/tools/z3/windows@ directory. Note: the executable file path is @<windows>/z3/bin/z3.exe@.
41 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
42 68 Andrei Tatarnikov
* UNIX and Linux users should use one of the links below and and unpack the archive to the @<installation dir>/tools/z3/unix@ directory. Note: the executable file path is @<unix>/z3/bin/z3@.

h3. Running MicroTESK
62 26 Andrei Tatarnikov
63 67 Andrei Tatarnikov
To generate a Java model of a microprocessor from its nML specification, a user needs to run the compile.sh script (Unix, Linux, OS X) or the compile.bat script (Windows). For example, the following command generates a model for the miniMIPS specification:
64 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
65 26 Andrei Tatarnikov
<pre>
66 67 Andrei Tatarnikov
sh bin/compile.sh arch/minimips/model/minimips.nml
67 27 Andrei Tatarnikov
</pre>
68 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
69 57 Andrei Tatarnikov
_NOTE: Models for all demo specifications are already built and included in the MicroTESK distribution package. So a user can start working with MicroTESK from generating test programs for these models._
70 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
71 57 Andrei Tatarnikov
To generate a test program, a user needs to use the generate.sh script (Unix, Linux, OS X) or the generate.bat script (Windows). The scripts require the following parameters: 
72
73
#  _model name_;
74
# _test template file_;
75
# _target test program source code file_.
76
77 67 Andrei Tatarnikov
For example, the following command runs the @euclid.rb@ test template for the miniMIPS model generated by the command from the previous example and saves the generated test program to the @test.asm@ file:
78 57 Andrei Tatarnikov
79 27 Andrei Tatarnikov
<pre>
80 67 Andrei Tatarnikov
sh bin/generate.sh minimips arch/minimips/templates/euclid.rb test.asm
81 26 Andrei Tatarnikov
</pre>
