# ACT-R



This is a mirror of the official ACT-R distribution found [here](http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/software/).



I created this mirror so that I could provide smaller ACT-R packages for use with my **[gactar project](https://github.com/asmaloney/gactar)**.



The only changes I made are adding this README file and copying the license to [LICENSE.txt](LICENSE.txt) so GitHub would pick it up.



[Releases](https://github.com/asmaloney/ACT-R/releases) are [tagged](https://github.com/asmaloney/ACT-R/tags) with their version number.



Each release creates the following files:

| File | Description |

|--|--|

| actr-slim-v7.x.y.zip | does not include examples, tutorials, and extras |

| actr-super-slim-v7.x.y.zip | does not include examples, tutorials, extras, docs, and most of the environment |

| Source code (zip) | full source in zip format |

| Source code (tar.gz) | full source in tar.gz format |



If you find a problem with the packaging of a release here, please [submit an issue](https://github.com/asmaloney/ACT-R/issues).



If you have issues with ACT-R itself, please [contact the ACT-R people](http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/software/).



## License



ACT-R is licensed under the terms of the [LGPL 2.1](docs/LGPL.txt) license ([summary for non-lawyers](https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesser-general-public-license-v2.1-%28lgpl-2.1%29)).



## Original readme.txt



This is the ACT-R 7 source code distribution.



These directories contain all of the Lisp code needed to run ACT-R 7 and

also include a tutorial introduction to using ACT-R, a GUI for inspecting 

and debugging models called the ACT-R Environment, software documentation 

for ACT-R and the Environment, optional extensions which have been written 

for ACT-R, and also some example code showing ways of extending the system

and connecting other programming languages to the ACT-R remote interface.



To use the ACT-R Environment or connect ACT-R to other programming languages

requires that QuickLisp be installed for the Lisp being used to get the

libraries for network communication and threading.  QuickLisp isa available

from: .  If the external connections are not

needed, ACT-R can also be run in a "Lisp only" mode without the need for

QuickLisp to be installed.  The "Lisp only" mode is typically much faster

at running models than the full system that allows for external connections. 



Instructions on how to load and run ACT-R and the ACT-R Environment can be

found in the QuickStart.txt file in the docs directory.  The tutorial units

are located in the tutorial directory, and that is the recommended starting 

point for those new to ACT-R.  More detailed information about the software 

can be found in the reference manual and the Environment manual which are 

located in the docs directory.
