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.

Retrascope Installation¶

1. Download and install JDK 1.8
2. Download and install SMT-LIBv2 solver. We recommend to use Z3 4.3.
3. Set either the system property smt.solver.path or the environment variable SMT_SOLVER_PATH to a full path to a SMT-solver executable file (for example, "/home/user/tools/z3/z3" or "C:\tools\z3\bin\z3.exe") in order to run solver-dependent tasks. If the both are set, a value of fortress.solver.path will be used.
4. Download and install nuXmv model checker.
5. Set either the system property nuxmv.path or the environment variable NUXMV_PATH to a full path to a NuXMV executable file (for example, "/home/user/tools/nuxmv/nuXmv" or "C:\tools\nuxmv\nuXmv.exe") in order to run checker-dependent tasks.
6. For VHDL designs elaboration:
   a) Set ZAMIA_LOCKING environment variable to true.
   b) Download and install Python interpreter.
7. Download, unpack and use the tool through it's Command Line Options.
