Running PRISM /

Starting PRISM

There are two versions of PRISM, one based on a graphical user interface (GUI), the other based on a command line interface. Both use the same underlying model checker. The latter is useful for running large batches of jobs, leaving long-running model checking tasks in the background, or simply for running the tool quickly and easily once you are familiar with its operation. Some screenshots of the GUI version of PRISM are shown below.

Details how how to run PRISM can be found in the installation instructions. In short, to run the PRISM GUI:

  • (on Windows) click the short-cut (to xprism.bat) installed on the Desktop/Start Menu
  • (on other OSs) run the xprism script in the bin directory

The remainder of this section of the manual describes the main types of functionality offered by PRISM. For a more introductory guide to using the tool, try the tutorial on the PRISM web site.
