Make sure you have Haskell Platform installed:
- On Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform - On Fedora:
$ sudo yum install haskell-platform - Otherwise go to http://www.haskell.org/platform
Install the prerequisites:
$ cabal update $ cabal install --only-dependencies
Run SiderMan:
$ runhaskell SpiderMan.hs --help
$ ./examples/runspider.sh /path/to/modulefiles/{Core,Apps,...} > modules.json
$ runhaskell SpiderMan.hs modules.json
$ xdg-open modules/index.html
If you want to nicely formatted pages, you need to install the files in data/css, together with the generated output on a web server.
For better performance and faster startup you might want to compile and install spiderman (see the cabal documentation for the details):
$ cabal install or $ sudo cabal install --global
This program should probably have been written in Lua or Python. But I needed to learn Haskell, so it's written in Haskell. Complaints are accepted in hardcopy only. Besides, Haskell is a fantastic language.
