Pre-Requisites

To run BUGGER you will need;

A Webserver (Apache recommended)
Claims_DB
Claims_DB_listener
SendEmail
Awk, Sed, Grep
A text editor for initial configuration

The system will run without SendEmail, you just won't be notified of any new bugs that have been logged. It's strongly recommended that if you don't currently have SendEmai installed and can live without the alerts for a while, wait for the next release when there's less chance of your inbox getting filled daily!
