First, download and install Isabelle2019. Then, you should download the Archive of Formal Proofs and follow the instructions.
Last, a tip for a better and faster experience with Isabelle: you should probably build the HOL-Analysis library. After you opened Isabelle, check the HOL-Analysis library in the rightmost panel Theories, and finally close and reopen Isabelle. The HOL-Analysis library will be built.
Same process with any big library if you plan to use it heavily.
@Yijun He @Hanna Lachnitt is Isabelle2019 faster now ?
Actually the prover failed last time when I was building the HOL-Analysis library, and I reverted back to the HOL library.

Do you mean that Sledgehammer failed after you built the HOL-Analysis library and that the latter is directly linked with the former ?
@Yijun He Could it be that your CPU is not powerful enough ?
By the way, did you get a workstation at the lab ?

Yes, my new computer's cpu is not very powerful. I still don't have the workstation yet.
@Yijun He Ok, I will get in touch with Larry about that.
What is the recommended hardware to run Isabelle on. My Laptop has (only) 8G RAM and occasionally spents a lot of time in Garbage Collection. Sometimes it even swaps and the OS kills polyML. I can get hardware from my group, but it would be useful to know what is used in other groups
In simple terms: the more RAM (16GB+) and CPU power, the better.
