@cindex POSIX
NNCP should run on any POSIX-compatible operating system.

@pindex go
@pindex texinfo
NNCP is written on @url{https://go.dev/, Go} programming language
and you have to install Go compiler 1.20+ version.
@url{http://cr.yp.to/redo.html, redo} build system is recommended for
convenience. @url{https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/, Texinfo} is
used for building documentation (although tarballs already include it).

In general you must get @ref{Tarballs, the tarball}, check its
@ref{Integrity, integrity and authenticity} and run @command{redo}.
Look for general and platform-specific @ref{Build-instructions, build
instructions}.

@menu
* Prepared tarballs: Tarballs
* Tarballs integrity check: Integrity
* Build instructions: Build-instructions
* Development source code: Sources
