-There are only really two main tools needed for developing WarFoundry, an SVN client and a development environment. As WarFoundry is built using C# 2.0 you'll also need a .Net 2.0 compatible framework such as [http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html Mono] (which may already be installed on some Linux distros) or Microsoft's [http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/aa731542.aspx .Net framework] (which may already be installed on some versions of Windows).

+When using Visual Studio, you'll need to download and install  [http://sourceforge.net/projects/nunit/files/NUnit%20Version%202/V2.4.8/ NUnit v2.4.8]. Later versions may not work as the NUnit team restructured their namespace.
