14.2 Installation of REDUCE Run mode

It is probably best to use the GNU Emacs package manager to install the latest REDUCE IDE package; Installation of REDUCE IDE. None of the manual installation described below is then required. But if you want to install by hand, or understand the details of the installation process, then read on.

REDUCE Run mode requires the library reduce-mode both when it is compiled and when it is loaded. It tries quite hard to locate this library, but normally it should be in the same directory as reduce-run.

Byte-compile the file reduce-run.el, put the result somewhere in your load-path, and put the following in your .emacs file:

(autoload 'run-reduce "reduce-run" "Run a REDUCE process" t)

To control access to the features of REDUCE Run mode from REDUCE mode you can customize the option autoload-reduce-run. See Customization of REDUCE Run mode.
