unix-based (BSD) operating system. Everything required for
Bugzilla on OS X will install cleanly, but the optional GD
perl module which is used for bug charting requires some
additional setup for installation. Please see the Mac OS X

> Bugzilla is not a package where you can just plop it in a directory,
twiddle a few things, and you're off. Installing Bugzilla assumes you
know your variant of UNIX or Microsoft Windows well, are familiar with the
command line, and are comfortable compiling and installing a plethora
of third-party utilities. To install Bugzilla on Win32 requires
fair Perl proficiency, and if you use a webserver other than Apache you
should be intimately familiar with the security mechanisms and CGI
environment thereof.
