Hello,
Because of I’m curious about technology, I’ve decide share some links and comments about it.
In general the process is simple:
1. Download the F# distribution from microsoft site or codeplex
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/fsharp/cc835251.aspx
http://fsxplat.codeplex.com/
Uncompress and run the install script 😉
2. You can also download the additional scripts.
Same procedure from http://fsxplat.codeplex.com/, the installation is similar uncompress and run the installation script. There is a chance where you can get the following error:
install-bonus.sh: 28: Syntax error: “(” unexpected (expecting “}”)
If so, change the first line from
#! /bin/sh -e
to
#!/bin/bash -e

I’ll assume you’ve already MonoDevelop installed, so. Make sure you’re following all the pre requisites to make F# work on mono:
http://functional-variations.net/monodevelop/prereq.aspx
At last but not least, you can install the add-in for mono
A good amount of steps can be located at http://functional-variations.net/monodevelop/ , or you can try just by adding the repository and install it 😉 (repository http://functional-variations.net/addin )
and pretty much that it. if you want to see a video, there is one available at http://functional-variations.net/crossplatform/.
Microsoft Research has published a side dedicated to teach FSharp at http://www.tryfsharp.org/
Best regards,
Herber
