Supported Platforms

When installing Drizzle we typically recommend either using the packages from a Linux distribution or packages provided by our own repositories. This is because the dependencies required by Drizzle can sometimes be too old or missing in some Linux distributions.

Drizzle 7 was tested on:
  • Fedora 12 through 14
  • RedHat (or CentOS) 5 and 6
  • Debian Squeeze 6.0
  • Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10
  • Apple OS X 10.6.4
Drizzle 7.1 was tested on
  • Fedora 15
  • RedHat and CentOS 5 and 6
  • Debian Squeeze 6.0
  • Ubuntu 10.04 through 11.10
  • OpenSuse 11
  • FreeBSD 8.0 and 8.1

We recommend using these platforms with Drizzle. Older platforms may have various unforseen difficulties when compiling and/or installing. Drizzle is tested on both 32bit and 64bit platforms but we recommend using a 64bit platform.

Software Requirements

To install and use Drizzle you will need the following basic packages:

In addition, several optional plugins will depend on additional libraries, like V8 for JavaScript, or clients for Memcache, Gearman, RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ...

Our repositories for RedHat/CentOS/Fedora and for Ubuntu will provide these when they are not part of the distribution repositories.
