Source distribution
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- ``fricas-x.y.z-full.tar.bz2`` is a "full" source tarball.
  It is identical to the respective version in the |git repository|,
  but additionally contains pregenerated (machine independent) files,
  i.e., compilation from these tarballs takes less time than from the
  git sources.

- ``x.y.z.tar.gz`` and ``x.y.z.zip`` source as in git repository

FriCAS x.y.z should build on Linux and many Unix like systems (for
example Mac OSX and Cygwin).

Official |git repository| (read-only access). Fork it on github if
you like.
