IVLE requires the following:
6
* Ubuntu Linux 7.04 or later (see note)
12
The setup program also requires:
18
Note: While the developers have made every effort to ensure IVLE is compatible
19
with all POSIX-compliant operating systems, our setup procedure is currently
20
tailored to Ubuntu Linux. The default install builds a jail based on the Ubuntu
21
APT system, but this could be fairly easily modified to work with other APT
22
systems which support debootstrap.
24
Getting IVLE running on another Unix system that doesn't support APT would
25
require getting the equivilent packages using the local package system and
26
modifying buildjail.sh to bootstrap a new jail.
28
At this stage we can only officially recommend Ubuntu 8.04 or later.
29
(Previously supported 7.04 and 7.10, but the APT repositoryies lack important
30
packages which had to be manually installed).

Ubuntu Install Procedure
33
------------------------
35
This document merely summarises the required modules. A step-by-step install
36
procedure for Ubuntu is located in trunk/doc/setup/install_proc.txt.
41
The following python libraries are required to be installed in the main Python
42
site packages directory:
44
* [cjson](http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/python-cjson)
45
* [pygresql](http://www.pygresql.org/)
46
* [pysvn](http://pysvn.tigris.org/)
48
All of these can be installed by Ubuntu's package management system. See
49
trunk/doc/setup/install_proc.txt for details.
51
Additionally, these libraries are installed by the setup script for the
52
purposes of student code using them:
