28 ## Requirements
29
30 pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,
31 with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,
32 FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform
33 implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that
34 Solaris does, but I can't test it.
35
36 - Python 3.4 or newer. Python 2.4+ was supported in the 0.5.x branch.
37 - Operating system:
38     - Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer, and the libacl library and
39       development packages (all modern distributions should have this,
40       under various names); also the file-systems you use must have
41       ACLs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.
42     - FreeBSD 7.0 or newer.
43 - The sphinx python module, for your python version, if building the
44   documentation.
45
46 ## FreeBSD
47
48 Note that on FreeBSD, ACLs are not enabled by default (at least on UFS
49 file systems). To enable them, run `tunefs -a enabled` on the file
50 system in question (after mounting it read-only). Then install:
51
52 - `pkg install py36-setuptools py36-sphinx`
53
54 or:
55
56 - `pkg install py37-setuptools`
