   * An SVN client installed, which can be downloaded from http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html. The instructions below assume a command-line SVN client.
   * Java JDK 6.x or later. For compiling on Windows 64 bit, need the 64 bit version of JDK. For compiling Greenstone 3.06 and onwards, need JDK 7.x or later.

+  * PERL: we used to use ActivePerl for Windows. Now we provide our own modified version of [[http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/main/trunk/release-kits/shared/windows/perl.zip|Strawberry Perl]] that has everything we need so far.
   * **Visual Studio** 8 or later for compiling C++ code. (We haven't tried it with Microsoft's free Visual Studio Express yet.) For 64-bit Windows, we found that Visual Studio versions 9 and 12 worked to compile GS3 from SVN.
   * If you want to compile GS2 or GS3 with debugging on, you will also need Microsoft SDK
