###1. Installation

To install APTE, first reach the extracted directory APTE-v0.4beta, then enter the following commands:

1. cd Source
2. make

Once the installation is done, an executable 'apte' is created in the directory main directory APTE-v0.4beta

###2. Usage

#####Synopsis :

apte [-debug high|low|none] [-unfold] [-no_comm] [-no_erase] [-verbose [<int>]] [-display size|step]
[-log <int>] file

#####Options :

• -debug [high|low|none]

  APTE is programmed with three level of debugging.

  • The High debugging option checks several invariants of the algorithms. While this mode provides more guarantee about the result, it makes the algorithm slower.
  • The Low debugging option only checks basic invariants. (default) +The None debugging option does not check any invariant. Chose this option for optimal running time.

• -display step : Show statistics on the matrices generated by APTE for each main step of the algorithm.

• -display size : Group the statistics on the matrices generated by the size traces.

• -log <int> : Log all the symbolic processes and the matrices obtained on the leaves for all traces of size smaller than or equal to .

• -no_comm : Does not consider the internal communication in the trace equivalence.
  WARNING : This option should not be used in presence of private channel.

• -no_erase : Does not consider a slight optimisation that consists of removing symbolic processes with the same process during the execution of the algorithm.
  Note : This option is automatically activated when -unfold is used.

• -unfold : Use the glutton strategy that consists of unfolding all symbolic traces and apply the symbolic equivalence decision procedure for each of them.

• -verbose [<int>] : Display some statistics on the matrices generated at the. end of the execution. When an integer <int> is given, the statistics are displayed every <int> matrices generated.

###3. Uninstall

To uninstall APTE, first reach the extracted directory APTE_v0.4beta, then enter the following commands:
