# 2.2. Requirements

POSIX environment

  Samhain will only compile and run in a POSIX operating system, or an emulation thereof (e.g. the free Cygwin POSIX emulation for Windows XP/2000).

ANSI C compiler and build system

  You need an ANSI C compiler to compile samhain. The GNU C compiler (GCC) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is fine. If your vendor's compiler is ANSI compliant, you should give it a try, since it might produce faster code. Also you will need to have standard tools like make in your PATH (the make tool is part of the POSIX standard).

[OPTIONAL] GnuPG

  If you want to use signed configuration and database files (this is an optional feature), GnuPG (gpg) must be installed.
