The '''zlib''' allows applications to conveniently read and write [[gzip]] compatible files. It was developed by Jean-Loupe Gailly and Mark Adler.

== Linux ==

'''zlib''' is included by default in most Linux distributions. If it is not available on your system, you could download and install a copy from http://www.zlib.net or use a package manager like <code>yum</code> or <code>apt</code> to install it on your system. A typical command line request to install zlib might look like this:

yum install zlib-devel
apt-get install zlib-devel

== Windows ==

On Windows, '''zlib''' is available through the <code>MinGW</code>, <code>msys</code> and <code>CygWin</code> collections of utilities and libraries, which are designed to facilitate porting of applications from Linux to Windows.
