        Installation
        ------------
        
        The CLIPS shared library and headers must be installed within the system.
        
        If library and headers are not in the system default locations, they can be specified to the installer via the ``CFLAGS`` and ``LDFLAGS`` environment variables.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            # CFLAGS="-I<headers path>" LDFLAGS="-L<library path>" pip install clipspy
        
        Example
        -------
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from clips import Environment, Symbol
        
            environment = Environment()
        
            # load constructs into the environment
            environment.load('constructs.clp')
        
            # assert a fact as string
            environment.assert_string('(a-fact)')
        
            # retrieve a fact template
            template = environment.find_template('a-fact')
        
            # create a new fact from the template
            fact = template.new_fact()
        
            # implied (ordered) facts are accessed as lists
            fact.append(42)
            fact.extend(("foo", "bar"))
        
            # assert the fact within the environment
            fact.assertit()
        
            # retrieve another fact template
            template = environment.find_template('another-fact')
            fact = template.new_fact()
        
            # template (unordered) facts are accessed as dictionaries
            fact["slot-name"] = Symbol("foo")
        
            fact.assertit()
        
            # execute the activations in the agenda
            environment.run()
