Electron-supported platforms

The following platforms are currently supported by Electron:

OS X

For binary documents with only 64 bits on the OS X system, the lowest version supported is OS X 10.8.

Windows

Only Windows 7 and later versions are supported, and previous versions have not worked.

Binary x86 amd64 (x64) are available for Windows. It is important to note that ARM version of Windows is not currently supported.

Linux

Precompiled ia32 i686 and x64 amd64 electron binary files are compiled under Ubuntu 12.04, arm version binary files are compiled under ARM v7 (hard floating point ABI and Debian Wheezy version of NEON).

Whether a precompiled binary can run depends on whether it includes libraries linked to the compilation platform, so only Ubuntu 12.04 is guaranteed to work, but the following platforms have also been proven to run precompiled versions of Electron:

• Ubuntu 12.04 and updates
• Fedora 21
• Debian 8
