# 2 Installation

In this chapter we describe how to install Pyxplot on a range of UNIX-like operating systems.

Pyxplot works on most UNIX-like operating systems. We have tested it under Linux, Solaris and MacOS, and believe that it should work on other similar POSIX systems. We regret that it is not available for Microsoft Windows, and have no plans for porting it at this time.
