  1. Install Java 11+ (tested till Java 22).
  2. Download KeYmaera X
  3. Run KeYmaera X either by clicking on the keymaerax.jar file
    or by starting it from command line, which shows startup information:
      java -jar keymaerax.jar

  5. The KeYmaera X User Interface will show you different options for arithmetic that you can configure in the KeYmaera X→Preferences menu:
    1. Best functionality: Install Mathematica (version 10+ for x64 CPU architecture or ARM64 CPU architecture)
    2. Free alternative: Install Wolfram Engine version 12+ (for x64 CPU architecture or ARM64 CPU architecture. Needs active internet and periodic manual license reactivation)
    3. Built-in: Z3 Solver (less functionality)
    4. Optional add-on: Install and link both Mathematica and MatLab to improve KeYmaera X invariant generator Pegasus.
    Only unusual use cases need advanced configuration in the menu KeYmaera X→Preferences→Advanced.

News

KeYmaera X surpasses its predecessor KeYmaera 3 in almost every respect. For example, it provides significantly more sophisticated automatic ODE invariant generation and provides user-defined tactics enable custom proof search procedures. KeYmaera X also comes with a significantly easier yet more versatile user interface. Above all, KeYmaera X has a substantially smaller soundness-critical prover core.
