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`
