Evergreen depends on the following technologies Perl, C, JavaScript, XML, XPath, XSLT, XMPP, OpenSRF, Apache, mod_perl, and PostgreSQL.
The latest stable release of a supported Linux distribution is recommended for an Evergreen installation. For Ubuntu, please use the latest LTS (long term support) release.
Currently the latest release from the Evergreen 2.4 series is recommended for new installations and stable releases are suggested for production systems.
Note: Evergreen servers and staff clients must match. For example, if you are running server version 2.4.1, you should use version 2.4.1 of the staff client.
