Other Documents:
- [Non-integer calculations specification](https://github.com/intersectmbo/cardano-ledger/releases/latest/download/non-integer-calculations.pdf): details on the parts of the Shelley specification that use real numbers.
- [Stake pool ranking specification](https://github.com/intersectmbo/cardano-ledger/releases/latest/download/pool-ranking.pdf): details for a robust stake pool ranking mechanism.

In addition, there is a formalization of the Ledger Specification in Isabelle/HOL which can be found [here](https://github.com/input-output-hk/fm-ledger-formalization).

Some user documentation is published on [Read the Docs](https://cardano-ledger.readthedocs.io/en/latest)

# Building

It is recommended to use [`nix`](https://nixos.org/nix/download.html) for building everything in this repository.
Haskell files can be built with [`cabal`](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) inside of a nix shell.

Make sure you have a recent version of `nix` by following this [guide](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/upgrading.html)

## Nix Cache

When using `nix` it is recommended that you setup the cache, so that it can
reuse built artifacts, reducing the compilation times dramatically:

If you are using [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) add the snippet below to your
`/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:

```
nix.settings = {
experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
substituters = [
"https://cache.nixos.org"
"https://cache.iog.io"
];
trusted-public-keys = [
"hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ="
];
};
```

If you are using the `nix` package manager next to another operating system put
the following in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`:

```
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
substituters = https://cache.iog.io https://cache.nixos.org/
trusted-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=
```

## Building the LaTeX documents and executable specifications

When using `nix` the documents and Haskell code can be readily
built by running:

```shell
nix build .#specs
```

The LaTeX documents will be placed inside a directory named `result`, e.g.:

```shell
result/byron-ledger.pdf
result/shelley-delegation.pdf
result/non-integer-calculations.pdf
result/small-step-semantics.pdf
result/shelley-ledger.pdf
result/byron-blockchain.pdf
```

## Building individual LaTeX documents

Change to the latex directory where the latex document is (e.g. `eras/shelley/formal-spec`
for the ledger specification corresponding to the Shelley release, or
`eras/byron/ledger/formal-spec` for the ledger specification corresponding to
the Byron release). Then, build the latex document by running:

```shell
cd
nix develop --command make
```

For a continuous compilation of the `LaTeX` file run:

```shell
cd
nix develop --command make watch
```

# Testing

Run `cabal test all` to run all tests or `cabal test ` to run the tests for a specific package.

Note: The `CARDANO_MAINNET_MIRROR` environment variable can be overriden in `flake.nix` if one desires to run
the Byron tests with a different version of the [mainnet epochs](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-mainnet-mirror/tree/master/epochs).

# Submitting an issue

Issues can be filed in the [GitHub Issue tracker](https://github.com/intersectmbo/cardano-ledger/issues).

However, note that this is pre-release software, so we will not usually be providing support.
