IVLE is currently only tested on Ubuntu 8.04+ and Debian 5.0 "lenny".

The supported installation procedure for Ubuntu and Debian can be found in

IVLE requires the following:

* Ubuntu Linux 7.04 or later (see note)

The setup program also requires:

Required python modules:

The setup process also requires:

The Debian jail builder requires:

Note: While the developers have made every effort to ensure IVLE is compatible
18
35
with all POSIX-compliant operating systems, our setup procedure is currently
19
tailored to Ubuntu Linux. In particular, it pulls shared libraries out of

Getting IVLE running on another Unix system would require manually retrieving
23
all of the packages in this document, as well as changing the setup script to
24
get the shared library files from the correct places on that system.
26
At this stage we can only officially recommend Ubuntu 7.04 or later. (Has been
27
tested on 7.04 and 7.10).

Ubuntu Install Procedure
30
------------------------
32
This document merely summarises the required modules. A step-by-step install
33
procedure for Ubuntu is located in trunk/doc/setup/install_proc.txt.
38
The following python libraries are required to be installed in the main Python
39
site packages directory:
41
* [cjson](http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/python-cjson)
42
* [pygresql](http://www.pygresql.org/)
43
* [pysvn](http://pysvn.tigris.org/)
45
All of these can be installed by Ubuntu's package management system. See
46
trunk/doc/setup/install_proc.txt for details.
48
Additionally, these libraries are installed by the setup script for the
49
purposes of student code using them:
51
* [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/)
36
tailored to Debian and Ubuntu. The default install builds a jail using
37
debootstrap, which uses apt and dpkg internally.
39
Getting IVLE running on another UNIX system that doesn't support apt should
40
simply require a reimplementation of ivle-buildjail to construct a jail of the
