-    apt-get install pkg-config linux-libc-dev libacl1-dev

-   On CentOS (for CentOS 6, at least), this should be sufficient (run
-   as root):
-
-    ```sh
-    yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
-    yum install python2 python2-devel libacl-devel pylibacl
-    yum install fuse-python pyxattr
-    yum install perl-Time-HiRes
-    yum install readline-devel # optional (bup ftp)
-    yum install python-tornado # optional (bup web)
-    ```

-   In addition to the default CentOS repositories, you may need to add
-   RPMForge (for fuse-python) and EPEL (for pyxattr).
 
    On Cygwin, install python, make, rsync, and gcc4.
