=========================================
Overview of Cyrus development environment
=========================================
The pre-requisites
==================
While Cyrus itself can be run under many operating systems, we recommend the following operating systems for development, because the dependencies and libraries are known. If you get a development environment working under a different operating system, we'd love to :ref:`hear about it <support>`.
* Debian / Ubuntu
* Fedora / Redhat
The components
==============
Source
------
Cyrus IMAPd
Can't do anything without this!
Follow the :ref:`Cyrus IMAP installation guide <setup>`.
Cyrus SASL
Used for providing user authentication to the mail server.
When developing against Cyrus, however, we assume that Cyrus SASL is a third party pre-built component. There is a separate section on compiling from source if you're interested in :ref:`contributing to Cyrus SASL <sasldevinstallguide>`.
Testing tools
-------------
Cassandane
System test suite for Cyrus IMAPd.
The :ref:`Cyrus testing guide <developer-testing>` has instructions for :ref:`installing Cassandane <install_cassandane>`.
Caldav Tester
Testing tool for CalDAV and CardDAV.
Installation information: http://calendarserver.org/wiki/CalDAVTester
IMAPTest
Compliance and stress test tool for IMAP servers.
Installation information: http://www.imapwiki.org/ImapTest
Development hub
---------------
GitHub
We use GitHub for our collaboration and change tracking.
Check out our :ref:`development process <devprocess>` for a guide on how to contribute your changes to the community.
