• Supported Platforms

    Supervisor has been tested and is known to run on Linux (Ubuntu Dapper/Feisty/Gutsy, and Fedora), Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.5), and Solaris (10 for Intel) and FreeBSD. It will likely work fine on most UNIX systems.

    Supervisor will not run at all under any version of Windows.

    Supervisor is written in the Python programming language. Supervisor is known to work with Python 2.3.3 or better, and it may work with Python 2.3.0, Python 2.3.1 and Python 2.3.2 (although these have not been tested). It will not work under Python versions 2.2 or before.

    Setuptools Easy Install

    If the Python interpreter you’re using has Setuptools installed, and the system has internet access, you can download and install supervisor in one step using easy_install.

    easy_install supervisor

    Depending on the permissions of your system’s Python, you might need to be the root user to install Supervisor successfully using easy_install.

    Download and Install

    If your system does not have setuptools installed, you will need to download the Supervisor distribution and install it by hand. Current and previous Supervisor releases may be downloaded from our distribution page.

    After unpacking the software archive, run python setup.py install. This requires internet access. It will download and install all distributions depended upon by Supervisor and finally install Supervisor itself.

    Depending on the permissions of your system’s Python, you might need to be the root user to sucessfully invoke python setup.py install.
