FAQs
What languages, platforms, and systems does the ActiveState platform support and integrate with?
The ActiveState platform supports the most recent versions, and one version prior, of Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Java, and Go at the Free tier and above. When a language community ends their support for a version, that version will no longer be available for free, but will remain available at Business Tier and will be eligible for Extended Support on Enterprise Tier for a period that is generally five years past End of Life.
Currently, the ActiveState platform supports Linux for x86 at Glibc 2.17 and newer, Windows 10 18H2 and newer on x86, Windows Server 2019 and newer on x86, and OS X 11 and newer on x86 and emulation of x86.
The ActiveState platform offers integrations with GitHub and PyPI, Cloudera ML and custom Docker images, JFrog Artifactory, Jupyter Notebooks, and popular IDEs such as PyCharm, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code. Learn more about our integrations today.
What is the ActiveState State Tool?

Are there other resources available for free?
Definitely! Every language has a community of developers, documentation aimed at those developers, and some way for them to talk with each other. Sites like CPAN, PerlMonks, the Tcler’s WikiPython discussion, Java Programming forums, and Ruby are available for users at all levels. Popular general forums like Stack Overflow and Reddit also host discussions on programming.
How can I import and manage requirements with the ActiveState platform?
Platform build projects can be represented as a file. Python projects can use requirements.txt, pipfile, pipfile.lock, pyproject.toml, or poetry.lock file formats. Perl projects can use CPAN file or meta.json format. Ruby projects can use gemlock.file format. Read more details in our documentation.
