1 Installation Requirements</a>
</h1>
<p>
<em>Please note that the information on this page may be out of date.</em>
Check for the
<a class="ulink" href="http://wiki.list.org/x/bAM"
>latest installation information</a> on the
<a class="ulink" href="http://wiki.list.org"
>Mailman wiki</a>.
<p>
GNU Mailman works on most POSIX-based systems such as <span class="Unix">Unix</span>, MacOSX, or
GNU/Linux. It does not currently work on Windows. You must have a mail
server that you can send messages to, and a web server that supports the
CGI/1.1 API. <a class="ulink" href="http://httpd.apache.org"
>Apache</a> makes a fine choice for
web server, and mail servers such as
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.postfix.org"
>Postfix</a>,
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.exim.org"
>Exim</a>,
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.sendmail.org"
>Sendmail</a>, and
<a class="ulink" href="http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html"
>qmail</a> should
work just fine.
<p>
To install Mailman from source, you will need an ANSI C compiler to build
Mailman's security wrappers. The
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org"
>GNU C compiler gcc</a> works well.
<p>
You must have the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.python.org"
>Python</a> interpreter installed
somewhere on your system. As of this writing, Python 2.4.4 is recommended,
but see the wiki page above for the latest information.
