NoMachine's commitment has always been to provide packages for the widest range of most frequently used platforms and operating systems. NoMachine software runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems, the minimum required versions are: 

• Mac OS X Intel 64-bit 10.9/ macOS Apple Silicon 11
• Windows 32-bit/64-bit Vista
• RHEL 6.0
• CentOS 6.0
• SLED/SLES 11
• Open SUSE 11
• Fedora 10
• Debian 5 lenny
• Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
• Linux ARM v7/ARMv8 (see https://www.nomachine.com/AR03M00842)
• Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 ARMv6/ARMv7/ARMv8 (for which a selection of distributions is supported. Please consult the dedicated article for Raspberry here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR07N00896)

For a complete list of platforms supported by the current version of NoMachine products, please also refer to the download page of each product.

With regards to Linux, there are so many Linux distributions and desktop variations for any possible Linux OS that to support all of them would be an impossible task. We therefore choose to officially support the most popular distros which are those listed above and in the download section of the website.

Rest assured that the NoMachine development team will continue to work hard to add support for further environments and/or processor architectures in the future; and will take into account the latest versions of the supported operating systems as per support policies already in place.

In general NoMachine should work with the latest version of any of the supported Operating Systems, unless major changes in the OS require NoMachine to align its own software. In that case, a period of at least 30 days is generally required to ensure full compatibility.  You might also be interested at NoMachine policies to support pre-release versions of operating systems:www.nomachine.com/AR03E00450.

Regarding earlier versions of Operating Systems, in order to ensure a consistently high quality remote access software across the most popular platforms, as well as because of some technical considerations related to the evolution of NoMachine software, the following OS versions are no longer supported since NoMachine v. 4:

• RedHat 7.2/7.3/8.0/9.0/RHEL 3.0/4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3
• SuSE Linux 7.2/7.3/8.0/8.1/8.2/9.0/9.1/9.2/9.3
• Mandriva Linux 9.0/9.1/9.2/10.0
• Fedora Core 1/2
• Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody/ 3.1 Sarge
• Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary
• Xandros 3.0
• Mac OSX 10.3/10.4
• Solaris SPARC 8/9 or later

Due to the changes introduced by Apple which has dropped support for 10.5 and 10.6 in recent compilers, NoMachine has discontinued support for those OS X versions since v. 6.

Since NoMachine v.8 the following OS versions are no longer supported:

• Mac OS X 10.7/10.8
• Red Hat Enterprise 4.4/5.x
• SLED/SLES 10.x
