===== Developer Environment Custom Build Scripts =====

Many developers find it necessary to automate the process of building and installing the Evergreen server (and its dependencies). Some of them have [[server_installation:semi_automated|shared their work]], and you are invited to make your own contributions.  These efforts could possibly be used as a basis for creating a cleaner Evergreen server installer using systems such as cfengine, Chef or Puppet.

===== Evergreen Releases ======

Evergreen is on a time-based release schedule, with two major releases planner per year in March and September.
