2. Loading and saving family trees.
3. Adding and removing persons and relations between them.
4. Editing profiles.

How to Run GUI

Download the compiled .jar archive: https://github.com/egryaznov/thesiscode/raw/master/out/artifacts/kindred_jar/kindred.jar Run it from the terminal with the following command: java -jar kindred.jar

How to Run KISP REPL

In order to run a KISP REPL, you need to provide the following as a command-line argument:

1. Required Path to a .kindb genealogy file, with -g argument key.
2. Optional Path to a pre-defined KISP script file, with -a argument key.

Example: java -jar kindred.jar -g my_genealogy.kindb -a axioms.lisp

The REPL prompt will appear (|-) and you can start evaluating your KISP term, like that:

|- (+ 2 2)

4

|- (map inc (list 1 2 3 4))

(list 2 3 4 5)

Also, there are REPL commands that can be used to change and gather information about current execution enviroment ($time, $cache, etc).
