== Linux == | |||
Due to the fact that Ubuntu is our default Linux distribution for testing, we will primarily focus on this specific OS for now. Saying that, it does not mean that we do not want to support other distributions in the future. | Due to the fact that Ubuntu is our default Linux distribution for testing, we will primarily focus on this specific OS for now.

==Mac== | === Mac === | ||
Compared to Linux, Mac OS X does not have developer tools installed per default. Given that xtools even has to be bought via the Apple Store now, we can't make it a requirement. The environment has to work on a clean OS X system with the default Python installation. | Compared to Linux, Mac OS X does not have developer tools installed per default.

==Windows== | === Windows === | ||
The Windows platform is the most important but also most difficult one. It doesn't have any developer tools or Python interpreter installed per default. That means the environment would also have to bundle Python to be usable at all. A nice solution here is the [http://www.py2exe.org/ py2exe extension], which would allow us to kill any dependency on Python bundled with our environment. | The Windows platform is the most important but also most difficult one.

== Tools == | |||
The minimal set of tools, which are necessary for the environment to allow the execution of our existent Mozmill tests is: | |||
* [http://www.python.org/ Python] (2.5 - 2.7) | |||
* [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Mercurial/ mercurial] (1.9.3) | |||
* [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsbridge jsbridge] | |||
