Supported Platforms and System Requirements
===========================================
Cyrus IMAP supports the following platforms;
* FreeBSD
* All reasonably recent versions of Linux, including but not limited to the
following distributions, in no particular order other than alphabetic;
* `CentOS <https://www.centos.org>`__
* `Debian <https://www.debian.org>`__
* `Fedora <https://www.fedoraproject.org>`__
* `Gentoo <https://www.gentoo.org>`__
* `openSUSE <https://www.opensuse.org>`__
* `Red Hat Enterprise Linux <https://www.redhat.com/en>`__
* `SUSE Linux <https://www.suse.com>`__
Should your Linux distribution not be listed here, please refer to
:ref:`support` for ways of contacting the Cyrus IMAP team.
* Solaris
By reasonably recent versions of Linux, we intend to indicate the Cyrus project
can keep up with the latest distribution release earmarked stable.
Building Cyrus IMAP
-------------------
In this section, we only list the aspects of building Cyrus IMAP of particular
interest to most common deployment scenarios. For more information on all
``configure`` options with full details, we refer you to ``./configure --help``.
Required Software Components
----------------------------
The following software components are required for Cyrus IMAP to build at all,
with minimal functionality;
* ``autoconf``
* ``automake``
* ``zlib`` (Development Headers)
Obviously, the list is not complete
Recommended Software Components
-------------------------------
We recommend you consider building Cyrus IMAP with the following software
components included;
Idled Support
"""""""""""""
To enable near real-time client updates through IMAP IDLE (as described in
:rfc:`2177`), configure Cyrus IMAP with the ``--enable-idled`` option.
Murder Support
""""""""""""""
To enable horizontal scalability, Cyrus IMAP supports the distribution of
mailboxes across Cyrus IMAP servers in a Murder setup. To enable murder support
in Cyrus IMAP, configure Cyrus IMAP with the ``--enable-murder`` option.
Replication Support
"""""""""""""""""""
To enable replication support in Cyrus IMAP, configure Cyrus IMAP with the
``--enable-replication`` option.
Obviously, the list is not complete
Recommended Software Components Enabled by Default
--------------------------------------------------
Sieve Support
"""""""""""""
Without any additional effort, Sieve support is already enabled by default. To
disable Sieve, use the ``--disable-sieve`` option to ``configure``.
Optional Software Components
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
When including the following software components during the build process,
and providing the options listed here, additional optional functionality can
be implemented;
**MySQL** (Development headers)
To enable using MySQL as a database server backend, include the MySQL
development headers and make sure to configure Cyrus IMAP with
``--with-mysql``.
Should MySQL - the client libraries or the development headers - be installed
in a non-standard location, please consider using any of the following options;
::
--with-mysql=DIR use MySQL (in DIR) [no]
--with-mysql-libdir=DIR MySQL lib files are in DIR
--with-mysql-incdir=DIR MySQL include files are in DIR
**PostgreSQL** (Development headers)
To enable using PostgreSQL as a database server backend, include the
PostgreSQL development headers and make sure to configure Cyrus IMAP with
``--with-pgsql``.
Should PostgreSQL - the client libraries or the development headers - be
installed in a non-standard location, please consider using any of the
following options;
::
--with-pgsql=DIR use PostgreSQL (in DIR) [no]
--with-pgsql-libdir=DIR Pgsql lib files are in DIR
--with-pgsql-incdir=DIR Pgsql include files are in DIR
Obviously, the list is not complete
