Server Platform
Eccet uses Linux as the underlying operating system.Advantages
No extra cost, good scalability, high security standardsLinux Distribution
If possible, use
Debian GNU/Linux.Using Eccet on other distributions is possible, but we neither test nor support this configuration. Debian GNU/Linux is free Software. You can download it e.g. from http://www.debianplanet.org/. In case you feel unsure about installing a Linux operating system, please do not hesitate to ask us for assistance or simply use the prebuilt VM images.
Required additional packets
Eccet requires external programs and libraries for saving pictures and
similar functionality. If these are not present, some functionality may not
be available.
When using Debian packages, the required packages for data conversion etc.
get installed automatically.
When installing on other linux systems, please make sure that the required packages are installed.
