# MOD system requirement
###### tags: `By_Ivan`
Considering our current data collection system, docker and zabbix are those who needs preperation before install. Most of the system information can be found inside the document or from the pkg manager.

As for those midlewares, the python scripts do require some additional modules. These miscellaneous pieces could be distributed within the docker image, without further adjustment.

On the other hand, although the correct version of libssh is crucial for ssh agent to run (see [ISSUE](https://hackmd.io/WrUQumo9QxWsTk6kQKw97g)), the problem can be solved by docker image as well.
