A Unix-like operating system, Gnu C, Python 3, OCaml 4.08 or later, make, ar, markdown and the Boehm GC.
Ubuntu or Debian Linux are ideal. Awe is reported to successfully compile and run the test and example programs on macOS.
On Debian or Ubuntu install these packages:
gcc ocaml-nox python3 python3-markdown binutils make libgc-dev
These are commands to compile and install Awe, to be run from within
the awe/ source code directory:
make
This builds Awe, then performs a large number of automated tests on it.
sudo make install
This installs Awe.
The default destination is the standard "/usr/local" directories.
Edit Makefile if you do not want this.
man awe

That's it, it should be that simple.
