Building munin
==============

In order to build munin, you need:

* A reasonable Perl 5 (Version 5.10 or newer)
* The Module::Build perl module
* The perl modules listed in "requires" in Build.PL

Developers / packagers need, in addition to the above

* The dependencies listed in "test_requires" in Build.PL
* RRDtool perl bindings

In order to build the documentation, you need:

* sphinx

Installing RRDtool bindings
---------------------------

The RRDtool perl bindings needed by munin are normally only installed
for the system perl.  To install munin using a separate perl
installation, add the Alien::RRDtool perl module.

Running munin
=============

Munin master
------------

In order to run the munin master, you need:

* A reasonable perl 5 (Version 5.10 or newer)
* All the perl modules used when building Munin
* A web server (optional)

Munin node
----------

The munin node is lighter on the requirements, and need only the
following perl modules:

* Net::Server
* Net::Server::Fork
* Time::HiRes
* Net::SNMP (Optional)

The Munin plugins run by the node have their own needs. Many plugins
need libraries or utilities related to what they monitor.  Please
refer to each plugin.
