What operating systems are supported by Substrate?

I've completed the following tutorial on an Ubuntu server... https://substrate.dev/docs/en/tutorials/create-your-first-substrate-chain/setup

I then tried it on a Red Hat distro (CentOS (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)) but it failed to compile.

Prompted me to ask what OS's are supported by Substrate?

Thanks in advance :)

  • The Getting Started guide lists macOS (BSD), Ubuntu/Debiant, and Arch Linux as preferred distributions. It also says Windows is supported, though not preferred (due to Windows lacking a Bash-style shell by default).
  • That doesn't mean other distros won't work - if "it failed to compile" then your machine is missing some dependency. The platform is built using Rust (for the service) and JS+npm for the front-end GUI - so it follows that Substrate should run on any platform that Rust (and npm) will run on (i.e. every modern distro of Linux).
