The API is orthogonal through the +various bindings, allowing developers to quickly learn how to write test +programs in different languages. + +ATF-based test programs offer a **consistent end-user command-line +interface** to allow both humans and automation to run the tests. + +ATF-based test programs **rely on an execution engine** to be run and +this execution engine is *not* shipped with ATF. +**[Kyua](https://github.com/jmmv/kyua/) is the engine of choice.** + +## Download + +Formal releases for source files are available for download from GitHub: + +* [atf 0.20](../../releases/tag/atf-0.20), released on February 7th, 2014. + +## Installation + +You are encouraged to install binary packages for your operating system +wherever available: + +* Fedora 20 and above: install the `atf` package with `yum install atf`. + +* FreeBSD 10.0 and above: install the `atf` package with `pkg install atf`. + +* NetBSD with pkgsrc: install the `pkgsrc/devel/atf` package. + +Should you want to build and install ATF from the source tree provided +here, follow the instructions in the [INSTALL file](INSTALL). + +## Support + +Please use the +[atf-discuss mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/atf-discuss) +for any support inquiries related to `atf-c`, `atf-c++` or `atf-sh`. + +If you have any questions on Kyua proper, please use the +[kyua-discuss mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kyua-discuss) +instead. |
