YACY: Platforms

Supported Platforms

Any Java2 System
YACY is written entirely in Java (Version Java2 / 1.2 and up). Any system that supports Java2 can run YACY. That means it runs on almost any commercial and free platforms and operation systems that are around. This includes of course Mac OS X, Windows (NT, W2K, XP) and Linux systems. For java support of your platform, please see the installation documentation.

Windows
The Proxy runs seamless on any Windows System and comes with an easy-to-use installer application. Just install and use the proxy like any other Windows application. Please download the Windows Release Flavour of YACY instead the generic one.

Mac OS X
The general distribution includes a Mac OS X wrapper shell, which is double-clickable. The application can be monitored and administrated through a web server that you can open with your Safari browser.

Linux/Unix
The proxy environment is terminal-based, not windows-based. You can start the proxy in a console, and monitor it's actions through a log file. A wrapper shell script for easy startup is included. You can administrate the proxy remotely through the built-in http server with any browser.
