Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libcvc4-7 on Kali Linux.

What is libcvc4-7

libcvc4-7 is:

CVC4 is an efficient automatic theorem prover for satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) problems. It can be used to prove the validity (or, dually, the satisfiability) of first-order formulas in a large number of built-in logical theories and their combination.

CVC4 is intended to be an open and extensible SMT engine, and it can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a library. It is the fourth in the Cooperating Validity Checker family of tools (also including CVC, CVC Lite and CVC3). CVC4 has been designed to increase the performance and reduce the memory overhead of its predecessors.

This package contains CVC4’s runtime shared libraries.
