# 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.
Please note, the `ARM` version of Windows is not supported for now.

### 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 later
* Fedora 21
* Debian 8
