Requirements

To use Plugify, your system must meet the following requirements. These include supported platforms, compilers, and dependencies.

System Requirements

Operating Systems

Plugify is designed to work on a wide range of platforms, including:

• Desktop:
  • Windows 7 or later
  • Linux (tested on Ubuntu 20.04+ and Fedora 34+)
  • macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
• Consoles:

Compilers

Plugify requires a C++20-compatible compiler. The following compilers are supported:

• Clang: Version 15 or later
• GCC: Version 11 or later
• MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++): Visual Studio 2022 or later
• Apple Clang: Version 15 or later

Build Tools

• CMake: Version 3.14 or later
• Ninja (optional): For faster builds

Dependencies

Plugify has the following dependencies:

1. Core Dependencies:
   • asmjit: For runtime code generation.
   • libsolv: For effective dependency resolution.
   • glaze: For JSON parsing and validation.
2. Language Module Dependencies:
   Each language module has its own prerequisites. Compiled languages need a toolchain installed to build your plugin; interpreted languages need the matching runtime available at load time.

   Language	Requirement	Notes
   C++	C++20-capable compiler	Same compilers as the list above
   C# (.NET)	.NET Runtime 10.0	Must be installed on the target machine
   Python	Python 3.12	Exactly 3.12 — the module links against python3.12
   JavaScript	V8 11.9	Bundled with the module; author plugins against ES6
   Lua	Lua 5.4.7	Bundled with the module
   Go	Go compiler	The module itself is built with Go 1.26
   Rust	Rust compiler	Edition 2024 — requires Rust 1.85 or later

   The Mono language module (plugify-module-mono) is deprecated and no longer maintained — the repository was archived in November 2024. Use the .NET module for new C# plugins.
