## Supported Platforms

**Windows**

* Audacity 3.7 is tested on Windows 10 & 11
  * Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 may still work, but are no longer tested. We are not actively supporting these versions anymore, but still accept patches which improve compatibility with these versions.

**macOS / Mac OS X**

* Audacity 3.7 is tested on macOS 14
  * Older macOS versions down to OS X 10.9 may still work, but is no longer tested. We are not actively supporting OSX versions anymore, but still accept patches which improve compatibility with these versions.
  * The Universal Binary may not work on various OSX versions. Use the Intel (x86\_64) installer instead.

**Linux**

* Linux support is tested with AppImages on Ubuntu 24.04.
  * Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.
  * On some distributions, `libfuse2` needs to be installed for AppImages to work. See <https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE> for more information.
  * Community-maintained distro-specific versions and other repackages (such as Flatpak) are often available, too.
