ACT-R/PM ReadMe

Welcome to ACT-R/PM 2.1.2


Contents

Congratulations on successfully downloading ACT-R/PM. There should be three folders in the distribution:

as well as this ReadMe file and the release notes.

Loading ACT-R/PM

Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL)

Inside the "Code" folder there is a loader, called "• Load ACT-R/PM •". If you double-click that file from the Finder it should load ACT-R/PM. If the files are not compiled, this may take a while as it will compile them first. If compilation is necessary, this may generate a lot of warning messages about undefined functions. Ignore them. You should now be ready to load and run ACT-R/PM models.

Other Lisps

Launch your Lisp environment, then load the file "+ load-rpm.lisp" inside the Code folder. This should load (and compile, if necessary) all the files for ACT-R/PM. This may generate "undefined function" compiler warnings, which you can ignore. You can now load and run ACT-R/PM models.

With Defsystem

If you use defsystem (which I highly recommend), copy (or alias) the file "rpm.system" to your registry. The first form in the file is the logical pathname translation for RPM, make sure this points to the correct directory for where you have installed ACT-R/PM.

Note that some systems may require that a directory called "bin" exist in the same directory as the "Code" directory.
