# minimum requirements for gitolite
**Client**:
* git 1.6.6 or greater
* an ssh client that can talk to an openssh server, and can generate keys in
openssh's default format (the pubkey is just one long line). Gitolite
will [not currently][pw1] convert such keys.
For people still using Windows, msysgit works fine. If you're using
[putty/plink][ens], God bless you. (It'll work, but I still want him to bless
you).
TODO: when smart http support works, ssh will no longer be a *requirement*,
merely a *strong* suggestion :-)
**Server**
* git 1.6.6 or greater
* perl 5.8.8 or greater
* an ssh server compatible with openssh, especially it's authorized keys
file format and features.
* any Unix or Unix like OS. That said, I've occasionally had some weird
reports from [Mac OSX servers][ens]; good luck.
* a single, dedicated, userid to host it (usually 'git' or 'gitolite').
These version numbers are subject to fine-tuning as I get feedback and make
fixes where possible and needed.
Sshd must be configured so that each users authkeys file is in the user's
`$HOME`, inside `.ssh/authorized_keys`, and not in some central
/var/something.
