See The Cylc User Guide for more detailed information. Cylc documentation is now maintained in the cylc/cylc-doc repository on GitHub.
Cylc must be installed on workflow and task job hosts. Third-party dependencies (below) are not required on job hosts.
Currently in the source code repository:
- master branch: Python 3, ZeroMQ network layer, no GUI - Cylc-8 Work In Progress
- 7.8.x branch: Python 2, Cherrypy network layer, PyGTK GUI - Cylc-7 Maintenance
The first official Cylc-8 release (with a new web UI) is not expected until late 2019. Until then we recommend the latest cylc-7.8 release for production use.
See INSTALL.md in the 7.8.x repository branch, or in your unpacked 7.8.x release, for how to install Cylc 7. You can download the latest cylc-7 release tarball from Cylc Releases.
