• Java <= 1.7 (only needed for the Java analysis)
• XCode <= 6.3, >= 6.1 (only needed for the C/Objective-C analysis)
• clang in XCode command line tools. You can install them with the command xcode-select --install (only needed for the C/Objective-C analysis)

Setup Opam

opam init -y --comp=4.01.0
eval `opam config env`
opam install -y extlib.1.5.4 atdgen.1.6.0 javalib.2.3.1 sawja.1.5.1
