Requirements
============
Supported Platforms
-------------------
When installing Drizzle we typically recommend either using the packages from
a Linux distribution or packages provided by our own repositories. This is
down to the dependencies reqiured by Drizzle which can be too old or missing
in some Linux distributions.
Every build of Drizzle is currently tested on:
* Fedora 12 - 14
* RedHat (or CentOS) 5 and 6
* Debian Squeeze (6.0)
* Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10
* FreeBSD 8.0 and 8.1
* Solaris 10 (Sparc)
* Apple OSX 10.6.4
We recommend using these platforms with Drizzle, older version may have various
unforseen difficulties when compiling and/or installing. Drizzle is tested on
both 32bit and 64bit platforms but we recommend using a 64bit platform.
Software Requirements
---------------------
To install and use Drizzle you will need the following basic packages:
* `Boost <http://www.boost.org/>`_ 1.40 or higher
* `Google Protocol Buffers <http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/>`_
* libuuid (part of the `E2fsprogs <http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/>`_
project)
* `zlib <http://www.zlib.net/>`_ 1.1.3-5 or higher
Our repositories for RedHat/Fedora and Ubuntu will provide these where required.
