The easiest way to install the latest released version of A Coq formalization of information theory and linear error correcting codes is via OPAM:
opam repo add coq-released https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released
opam install coq-infotheoTo instead build and install manually, do (using GNU make):
git clone https://github.com/affeldt-aist/infotheo.git
cd infotheo
make # or make -j <number-of-cores-on-your-machine>
make -C extraction tests
make installMany thanks to several contributors (committers).
The principle of inclusion-exclusion is a contribution by Erik Martin-Dorel (University Toulouse III Paul Sabatier, IRIT research laboratory) (main theorem: Pr_bigcup_incl_excl; commit 956096859ed89325b2bb74033690ac882bbcd64e)
The variable-length source coding theorems are a contribution by Ryosuke Obi (Chiba U. (M2)) (commit a67da5e24eaaabb345d225a5bd0f5e86d35413a8) (with Manabu Hagiwara and Mitsuharu Yamamoto)
Commit 64814f529c1819684c4b8060d0779c24c6339041 was originally by Karl Palmskog
The formalization of modern coding theory is a collaboration with K. Kasai, S. Kuzuoka, R. Obi
Y. Takahashi collaborated to the formalization of linear error-correcting codes

Installation of infotheo on Windows is less simple. See this page for instructions to install MathComp on Windows 10 (or this page for instructions in Japanese).
Once MathComp is installed (with opam), do
opam install coq-infotheo or git clone git@github.com:affeldt-aist/infotheo.git; opam install .
Before version 0.2, infotheo was distributed under the terms of the
