In order to use xltrail, you need to version control your Excel workbooks with Git. All Git systems are supported including GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab, both as cloud and on-premise versions.

Browser: Supported versions

The xltrail user interface is compatible with recent versions of all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge). However, it does not support Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Server: Systems requirements

xltrail is a Docker based system and can be installed on the following operating systems:

• Oracle Linux 6.5+

Your machine must support docker-engine 1.7.1 - 17.12.1-ce (with 17.12.1-ce being the recommended version). This also requires a 64-bit distribution with a kernel minimum of 3.10. Note that the xltrail install script automatically installs docker-engine.
