Build process requires SBT and Java 8. Instructions for installing SBT can be found here. FAPE is developed and tested on Linux but there should be no problems in getting it to run on another OS.

When you have SBT, simply run the following command in the project directory.

# Build the project with SBT
sbt compile

# Create executable script
sbt pack

You can generate a script to run the FAPE planner with sbt pack. This will produce an executable at target/pack/bin/fape. To see options, run fape --help.

We recommend using IntelliJ Idea which has support for SBT project definitions (either built-in or though plugin depending on the version you have).

We use annotations from project lombok to generate some boiler plate code. This should not interfere with sbt build but you should enable it in IntelliJ:

• add the lombok plugin
• enable annotation processing: Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors -> Enable annotation processing

Once you have compiled FAPE (using sbt pack), you can run it with

path/to/fape path/to/anml/problem/file
# e.g. target/pack/bin/fape planning/domains/logistics-hier/logistics.x04-1.pb.anml

For more options, run fape --help. Example ANML planning problems are available in planning/domains.

You can find precompiled version of FAPE at: https://github.com/arthur-bit-monnot/fape/releases

Precompiled binaries come in two flavors:

• an executable script for Linux (e.g. fape-1.0) that is self contained with all dependencies
• a single jar bundled with all dependencies (e.g. fape-planning-assembly-1.0.jar). This can be run with java -ea -jar fape-planning-assembly-1.0.jar [options] path/to/problem.anml

In both case, your version of the Java Runtime Environment must be at least 1.8.

Compiled jars for FAPE are also available on Maven Central Repository
