Spinroot installation on 16.04












2















I am trying to install spin, spin is a popular open-source software verification tool, used by thousands of people worldwide. The tool can be used for the formal verification of multi-threaded software applications.



Spin website



The problem is that i follow every step in the guide and when i try to run a spin program ubuntu pops a message that says i have to install "staden" in order to run pml files, but staden is another kind of program irrelevant to what i am trying to install, i have attached a screenshot of the terminal if it helps.
Screenshot of the installation process



I have tried contacting their forum but it is closed and still waiting for an invite.



Thank you in advance

          I don't know where you got your instructions from but I believe you are misunderstanding the process unless I am too. From that site, I downloaded the .gz file and uncompress it the instructions are:




          1. Uncompress with gunzip -d spin649_linux64.gz

          2. Rename the file to spin mv spin649_linux64 spin and make executable with sudo chmod +x spin


          3. Place that file in the any of the following locations:



            /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /bin, 


            or any other directory within your search path.



          4. Run that file with just the command spin after closing and reopening your terminal



          Update: Nowe looking around I see where you got the instructions from but you missed the part where you ought to put the built binary in your system paths.



          Use these steps:




          1. gunzip *.tar.gz

          2. tar -xf *.tar

          3. cd Src*

          4. make


          If step 4 gives the error make: yacc: Command not found, then install bison with sudo apt install bison and run the make command again. Now you will see a spin file in that folder move that into any of the following paths: /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /bin. Close and open your teminal now you should be able to run the spin command.



          Update2:



          If you ran that command like this



           ../Src6.4.9/spin hello.pml


          as the spin binary is in another folder you won't get that error. But move that spin binary in the Src* folder into your file path to launch spin from anywhere.
