31 ## Requirements

32

33 pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,

34 with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,

35 FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform

36 implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that

37 Solaris does, but I can't test it.

38

39 - Python 3.7 or newer. Python 2.4+ was supported in the 0.5.x branch,

40 Python 3.4+ in the 0.6 branch.

41 - Operating system:

42 - Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer, and the libacl library and

43 development packages (all modern distributions should have this,

44 under various names); also the file-systems you use must have

45 ACLs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.

46 - FreeBSD 7.0 or newer.

47 - The sphinx python module, for your python version, if building the

48 documentation.

49

50 ## FreeBSD

51

52 Note that on FreeBSD, ACLs are not enabled by default (at least on UFS

53 file systems). To enable them, run `tunefs -a enabled` on the file

54 system in question (after mounting it read-only). Then install:

55

56 - `pkg install py36-setuptools py36-sphinx`

57

58 or:

59

60 - `pkg install py37-setuptools`
