Installation

Please visit the installation documentation at https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL.html for detailed installation guidance.

Security warning: The WSGI server Zope uses by default, waitress, was affected by an important security issue <https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4f7p-27jc-3c36>. The fixed version 2.1.1 is not compatible with Python 3.6. We strongly advise you to either upgrade your Zope installation to at least Python 3.7, or switch to a different WSGI server <https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operation.html#recommended-wsgi-servers>. Due to this security issue Python 3.6 support is deprecated starting with Zope 5.5.1 and will be removed in Zope version 5.7.
