.. _supported_platforms: Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. note:: Supported platforms periodically change due to any of a number of factors outside the control of the VisIt_ project including demand, developer access, technology obsolescence, and majority stakeholder requirements. The platforms upon which the majority of contributors regularly develop and run VisIt_ and for which the resources exist to provide *full support* are determined primarily by our `host organization `_. For these platforms, we are able to reproduce bugs, test bug-fixes, develop work-arounds and in general provide the highest quality support services. These platforms are... * |fs*nix| * Windows 7, 8 and 10 * macOS 10.15 We do make an effort to provide pre-compiled binaries as well as perform minimal testing for |ps*nix|. However, because we do not yet routinely develop or test on these platforms, we are not able to provide the same level of support as we do for |fs*nix|. Finally, for other platforms, :ref:`building ` VisIt_ from sources is an option. We do try to be responsive to issues building VisIt_ from sources.
