Bluetext is built on top of [Polytope](https://docs.bluetext.dev/www.polytope.com) which is a container orchestration platform.&#x20;

Polytope makes it easy to build, run, and iterate on your software. It gives you a unified interface for running all your services and workflows (CI, DataOps, MLOps, DevOps, ...) - on your machine, in the cloud or on-prem. This interface is accessible to your agents through MCP tools.

## Installing Polytope ​

Installing Polytope on macOS and Linux is super simple. Windows is a bit more involved since you need an new version of Windows Subsystem For Linux (WSL2) installed.&#x20;

The installation procedure differs depending on operating system, so we have separate installation instructions for each operating system.&#x20;

* [For macOS users](/polytope/installation-for-macos-users.md)
* [For Windows users](/polytope/installation-for-windows-users.md)
* [For Linux users](/polytope/installation-for-linux-users.md)
