| Supported means all doctests pass. If not please report the problem to the Google group sage-devel or sage-support. You might also report problems in the IRC channel #sage-devel on freenode. | == Supported Platforms == If you try to build Sage on most Linux or OS X systems, you should have few if any problems and if there are problems, plenty of people will be able to help you. Just ask on [[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support|[email protected]]] But some distributions are better supported than others - see below for details. Building Sage on Solaris or OpenSolaris is a little tricky, but Sage works on those platforms. Ask for help on [[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support|[email protected]]] if you have problems. If you try to build Sage on something more exotic, you may find a Sage developer able to help you, but you can't be sure. Below are listed the supported platforms, along with the level of support given. There are 3 levels of support. * 1) Fully supported - Sage is ALWAYS checked on ALL these platforms BEFORE a release is made * 2) Expected to work - Sage will probably work, but it is not always tested. * 3) Probably will not work - Porting work may be ongoing. Specific hardware and software for these 3 levels of support are given below. === Fully supported - Sage is ALWAYS checked on ALL these platforms BEFORE a release is made === Sage is fully supported on the following platforms. This means '''every''' single release of Sage is '''always''' tested on '''all''' these platforms. The testing is performed in an automated way using Buildbot. (You can see what systems we use at http://build.sagemath.org/sage/buildslaves) Failure to build on one of these platforms will stop a release of Sage being made. Usually all Sage's self-tests (doc-tests) will pass, though one or two failures on one or two platforms may occur, and will be documented in an [[errata|errata page]]. Any failures to either build or pass tests are considered very serious bugs. Also, we will always make binaries available for these platforms. If you wish to set up a server primarily or exclusively for using Sage, you would be advised to install one of these operating systems, rather than one on which Sage is not regularly tested. You should not assume that Sage will necessarily work on the latest release of these systems, though it usually will. To aid Sage developers, the hosts on which Sage is fully supported are listed, with a link to the Buildbot page. There are five requirements for Sage to work successfully on these fully supported platforms. * A full development system must be installed - a minimal install will probably not work if you wish to build from source. * The system must not have been mis-configured. Unfortunately, it is not unusual for Sage to fail to build on systems where someone has mis-configured the system. A fresh install of the operating system is not necessary, but any changes made since the installation must have been performed properly. * You need at least 2 GB of RAM (you may get away with less, but you can not be sure. Sage has been built on systems with less than 2 GB RAM) * You need at least 2.5 GB of free disk space. * gcc >= 4.0.1 for Sage versions of 4.6.2 or earlier. gcc 4.6.0 will not build Sage 4.7.0 * All instructions must be followed. ====== Linux ====== * Fedora 14 on x86 (64-bit).

Failure to build on these systems will be considered a bug, but we may not have the resources to solve any problems. Sage developers should be able to offer assistance to anyone who can't get Sage to work properly on one of these platforms, but since they might not necessarily have access to the platform, that may be difficult. If anyone is able to test on these systems, we would particularly appreciate reports of failures, since Sage really should work on these systems.
