Install F# on Ubuntu 9.04 -- sorta

install_fsharp_on_ubuntu.sh

# You can run F# on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris and even Windows using Mono.
# Here's how I got F# running on Ubuntu 9.04:

# Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install mono-gac libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil

# Download from http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/fsharp/release.aspx
wget -c http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/7/4/F74A3170-261C-4E8F-B1A8-2E352C61A89B/fsharp.zip

# Extract files:
unzip fsharp.zip

# Go into newly-created directory:
cd FSharp-1.9.*/

# Install the files, sadly this requires root :(
sudo install-mono.sh

# Add execute permissions:
chmod a+rx bin/*.exe

# Run interactive interpreter:
./bin/fsi.exe

# Enter the following, without the leading "###" into the interpreter console:
### printfn "%s" ("Hello Mono, I'm F#");;
