# platforms
Solanum is designed with portability in mind, but does not target older systems nor those of solely academic
interest.
Do note that operating systems are only supported if they are supported by their vendor.
## Tier 1
These platforms are the best supported, and should always work. They are actively tested. If you encounter
problems, please file a bug.
* FreeBSD 10.x and above (i386 and amd64)
* Linux 2.6.x and above with glibc or musl (i386, x86_64, and ARM)
* macOS 10.7 and above
* Windows Vista/Server 2008 and above (x86 or x64)
## Tier 2
These platforms are supported and occasionally tested, and most features should work, but this is not
guaranteed. If you find any problems, file a bug, but as these are not regularly tested platforms, a timely
resolution may not be possible.
* DragonflyBSD 4.4 and above (i386)
* Linux with uClibc (i386 or x86_64)
* NetBSD 6.1.x and above (i386, amd64)
* OpenBSD 5.6 and above (i386, amd64)
* Solaris 10 and above (i386)
## Tier 3
Anything else that hasn't been tested. Solanum may or may not work on it; patches welcome if they don't.
Solanum is developed on Linux with glibc, but is currently portable to most POSIX-compatible operating systems.
However, this portability is likely to be removed unless someone is willing to maintain it. If you'd like to be that
person, please let us know on IRC.

feel free.)
* For ECDHE under OpenSSL, on Solaris and RHEL/Fedora (and its derivatives such as CentOS) you will
need to compile your own OpenSSL on these systems, as they have removed support for ECC/ECDHE.
Alternatively, consider using another library (see above).
