## Asking for General Help
|
||||
|
||||
Because the level of activity in the `electron/electron` repository is
|
||||
so high, questions or requests for general help using Electron should
|
||||
be directed at the [community slack channel](https://atomio.slack.com)
|
||||
or the [forum](https://discuss.atom.io/c/electron).
|
||||
["Finding Support"](../tutorial/support.md#finding-support) has a
|
||||
list of resources for getting programming help, reporting security issues,
|
||||
contributing, and more. Please use the issue tracker for bugs only!

# Electron Support
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding Support
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a security concern,
|
||||
please see the [security document](../../SECURITY.md).
|
||||
|
||||
If you're looking for programming help,
|
||||
for answers to questions,
|
||||
or to join in discussion with other developers who use Electron,
|
||||
you can interact with the community in these locations:
|
||||
- [`electron`](https://discuss.atom.io/c/electron) category on the Atom
|
||||
forums
|
||||
- `#atom-shell` channel on Freenode
|
||||
- [`Electron`](https://atom-slack.herokuapp.com) channel on Atom's Slack

|
||||
If you'd like to contribute to Electron,
|
||||
see the [contributing document](../../CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
||||
|
||||
If you've found a bug in a [supported version](#supported-versions) of Electron,
|
||||
please report it with the [issue tracker](../development/issues.md).
|
||||
|
||||
[awesome-electron](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-electron)
|
||||
is a community-maintained list of useful example apps,
|
||||
tools and resources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Versions
|
||||
|
||||
The latest three release branches are supported by the Electron team.
|
||||
For example, if the latest release is 2.0.x, then the 2-0-x series
|
||||
is supported, as are the two previous release series 1-7-x and 1-8-x.
|
||||
|
||||
When a release branch reaches the end of its support cycle, the series
|
||||
will be deprecated in NPM and a final end-of-support release will be
|
||||
made. This release will add a warning to inform that an unsupported
|
||||
version of Electron is in use.
|
||||
|
||||
These steps are to help app developers learn when a branch they're
|
||||
using becomes unsupported, but without being excessively intrusive
|
||||
to end users.
|
||||
|
||||
If an application has exceptional circumstances and needs to stay
|
||||
on an unsupported series of Electron, developers can silence the
|
||||
end-of-support warning by omitting the final release from the app's
|
||||
`package.json` `devDependencies`. For example, since the 1-6-x series
|
||||
ended with an end-of-support 1.6.18 release, developers could choose
|
||||
to stay in the 1-6-x series without warnings with `devDependency` of
|
||||
`"electron": 1.6.0 - 1.6.17`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Platforms
|
||||
|
||||
Following platforms are supported by Electron:
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
Only 64bit binaries are provided for macOS, and the minimum macOS version
|
||||
supported is macOS 10.9.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 7 and later are supported, older operating systems are not supported
|
||||
(and do not work).
|
||||
|
||||
Both `ia32` (`x86`) and `x64` (`amd64`) binaries are provided for Windows.
|
||||
Running Electron apps on Windows for ARM devices is possible by using the
|
||||
ia32 binary.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The prebuilt `ia32` (`i686`) and `x64` (`amd64`) binaries of Electron are built on
|
||||
Ubuntu 12.04, the `armv7l` binary is built against ARM v7 with hard-float ABI and
|
||||
NEON for Debian Wheezy.
|
||||
|
||||
[Until the release of Electron 2.0][arm-breaking-change], Electron will also
|
||||
continue to release the `armv7l` binary with a simple `arm` suffix. Both binaries
|
||||
are identical.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether the prebuilt binary can run on a distribution depends on whether the
|
||||
distribution includes the libraries that Electron is linked to on the building
|
||||
platform, so only Ubuntu 12.04 is guaranteed to work, but following platforms
|
||||
are also verified to be able to run the prebuilt binaries of Electron:
|
||||
|
||||
* Ubuntu 12.04 and newer
|
||||
* Fedora 21
|
||||
* Debian 8
