On your development system you just need a C compiler, a make program, the Bourne (or Korn or Bash) shell, and gzip.

The graphical setup program needs a C++ compiler and version 1.1 of the FLTK library, available at "<a href='http://www.fltk.org/'>http://www.fltk.org/".

EPM can generate so-called "portable" distributions that are based on shell scripts and tar files. For these types of distributions your customers/users will need the Bourne (or Korn or Bash) shell, a tar program, and GNU zip. The first two are standard items, and GNU zip is being shipped by most vendors as well.

EPM can also generate vendor-specific distributions.  These require the particular vendor tool (rpm, dpkg, etc.) to create and install the software package.
