11 Download and installation

The recommended way to download and install this software is through quicklisp. Install quicklisp following the directions, then do one of:

     (ql:quickload "antik")

Users that need the very latest version will need to fetch the repository via git. The gitweb page gives a view of the commit history and information on cloning. To clone,

     git clone git://repo.or.cz/antik.git

The Antik system depends on

alexandria cffi, trivial-garbage, and split-sequence. In addition, there are two optional systems, FSBV, which permits usage of foreign arrays of complex number elements, and static-vectors gives foreign arrays a native Lisp view via the function cl-array for foreign arrays made in Lisp (not created in foreign code) for supported implementations (currently SBCL, CCL, ECL, LispWorks, and Allegro).

Note: FSBV is for the time being mandatory. Only one file is needed, and no foreign libraries, but until it is split into two separate systems, the whole thing must be loaded.
