Supported Platforms
Windows
Audacity 3.1.x requires the CPU to support the SSE2 instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003.
To check what SSE levels your CPU supports, you can install CPU-Z.
If your hardware only supports SSE, you may download Audacity 2.0.6 see the Legacy Windows page on the Audacity Website.
3.1.x does not support Windows XP.
You may try 2.2.2 on XP, but it is unsupported.
macOS / Mac OS X
Audacity 3.1.x is for Intel Macs running OS X 10.7 and later and macOS.
There are legacy versions for older OS X at http://audacityteam.org/download/legacy-mac/.
Linux
Linux support is tested on Ubuntu Linux.
Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.
