Installing the DITA Open Toolkit
You can install the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. The process for
installing and setting up the DITA-OT depends on the type of distribution package that you select.
Distribution packages
The DITA Open Toolkit is distributed in different packages: minimal, standard, and client. The source code is available as a Git repository.
Prerequisite software
The prerequisite software that the DITA-OT requires depends on the type of distribution package that you intend to install and the types of transformations that you want to use.
Installing the client package
For the simplest installation experience, install the client package. This package can be installed on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It contains everything that you need to run the DITA-OT except for Java.
Installing the minimal or standard package on Linux or Mac OS X
If you already have locally-installed copies of Ant and the other required tools, install either the minimal or standard package.
Installing the minimal or standard package on Windows
If you already have locally-installed copies of Ant and the other required tools, install either the minimal or standard package.
