# 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
