System Requirements for GovReady-Q¶
GovReady-Q is a Python 3.6, Django 2.0 application with a relational database back-end. GovReady-Q is compatible with operating systems and components generally supported by Django 2.0 and Python 3.6.
GovReady-Q has been successfully deployed on multiple Linux distros (RHEL 7, CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14 & 16), as a Docker container, as Docker container in AWS Elastic Container Service, as a Docker container on OpenShift, and as a Vagrant virtual machine.
We’ve tried to make GovReady-Q installation straightforward and complete. Our documentation includes configuring the Python uWSGI environment, installing and running testing tools, adding sources for compliance security plan apps, and setting up your admin account and initial organization.
Development Deployments¶
GovReady-Q can be deployed on a modern, single Linux/Unix/MacOS workstation (or laptop) for development and exploration.
GovReady-Q can be deployed on a Windows platform through the use of our Docker container.
