This is a fork of the official mCRL2 repository at https://github.com/mCRL2org/mCRL2. In this fork, an experimental partial model checking tool formulaquotient is added to the toolset. Read more about the tool in the partial model checking repository.

mCRL2 is a formal specification language with an associated toolset. The toolset can be used for modelling, validation and verification of concurrent systems and protocols. It can be run on Windows, Linux and macOS.

The toolset supports a collection of tools for linearisation, simulation, state-space exploration and generation and tools to optimise and analyse specifications. Moreover, state spaces can be manipulated, visualised and analysed.

The mCRL2 toolset is developed at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, in collaboration with the University of Twente.

See our website for extensive documentation on the usage of the toolset and downloads of the release and nightly versions.

mCRL2 has the following dependencies:

• Qt (5.5.0 or higher, only for the GUI tools)
• Boost (1.48 or higher)

Furthermore, sphinx and xsltproc are required to build the documentation. Makefiles can be generated using cmake. To build the toolset in Release mode using 4 threads, run the following commands (preferably in an empty directory):

git clone https://github.com/mCRL2org/mCRL2 src
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
make -j4

When compilation is finished, the binaries can be found in stage/bin/. Convenient front-ends for cmake are ccmake (macOS/Linux) and cmake-gui. Under Windows and macOS, it is usually necessary to set the variables Boost_INCLUDE_DIR and Qt5_DIR manually. More build instructions can be found in the documentation.

Report bugs in the issue tracker. Please include the version number from mcrl22lps --version, and a complete, self-contained test case in each bug report.

Contributions in the form of a pull request are welcome. For more details, see the documentation.

If you have questions about using the mCRL2 toolset which the documentation does not answer, send a mail to mcrl2-users@listserver.tue.nl or open an issue.
