<A NAME="sec:IDE"></A>

<P><A NAME="idx:IDE:269"></A><A NAME="idx:Developmentenvironment:270"></A>Prolog 
text-books give you an overview of the Prolog language. The manual tells 
you what predicates are provided in the system and what they do. This 
chapter wants to explain how to run a project. There is no ultimate 
`right' way to do this. Over the years we developed some practice in 
this area and SWI-Prolog's commands are there to support this practice. 
This chapter describes the conventions and supporting commands.

<P>The first two sections (<A class="sec" href="projectfiles.html">section 
3.1</A> and <A class="sec" href="usingmodules.html">section 3.2</A> only 
require plain Prolog. The remainder discusses the use of the built-in 
graphical tools that require the XPCE graphical library installed on 
your system.
