    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Once you have installed gprolog, there
      is a subdirectory called bin which contains all executables (gplc,
      pl2wam,...).<br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">You need to add this bin directory to
        your PATH environment variable. <br>
      </div>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">E.g., under Mac, suppose gprolog is
        installed in /Users/foo/gprolog :</div>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
      </div>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">then test the PATH with</div>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
      </div>
      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">$ PATH=$PATH:/Users/foo/gprolog/bin</div>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">then a command like</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">$ type pl2wam</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">should return
      /Users/foo/gprolog/bin/pl2wam</div>
    <p>You can now run gprolog and consult a file.</p>
    <p>Once the test is OK it is a good idea to add this PATH
      declaration in your shell's profile file.<br>
