.. note::

	InterMine only supports installations onto Linux and Mac OS X systems. Windows systems of any kind are not supported.  We run a mixture of Debian and Fedora servers in our data centre in Cambridge.

After installation, most programs require extra configuration to work with InterMine:

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2

   git
   java
   perl
   postgres/index
   tomcat
   macs
   maven
   intellij
   solr

InterMine uses :doc:`Gradle </system-requirements/software/gradle/index>` to manage the build but do not install Gradle locally. Instead use the wrapper provided.
