Software
Operating system
Eccet uses Linux as the operating base.
To run Eccet on Windows, you can use virtualization techniques.
We provide complete virtual machine images for this pupose.
Linux Distribution
If possible, use Debian GNU/Linux.Using Eccet on other distributions is possible, but we neither test nor support this configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux is free Software. You can download it e.g. from http://www.debianplanet.org/. In case you feel unsure about installing a Linux operating system, please do not hesitate to ask us for assistance or simply use the prebuilt VM images.Kernel
Modern distributions ship with multi-rpocessing-enabled kernels.So it is no longer necessary to build and install a custom kernel.
Required additional packets
Eccet requires external programs and libraries for saving pictures and similar functionality. If these are not present, some functionality may not be available.When using Debian packages, the required packages get installed automatically.
When installing on other linux systems, please make sure that the required packages are installed.
