### CPU
* A x86_64 architecture CPU with a minimum of SSE2 support. This includes Intel Core2 and newer and AMD equivalents.
* Arm CPU supporting AArch64 and NEON.
* Arm64 CPU supporting AArch64 and NEON.
32 bit CPUs are not supported.

### Operating system
* 64 bit Linux OS. Debian and Fedora based distributions, including Ubuntu, Mint, RHEL and clones, are known to work and have all dependencies in their repositories. Others will work but may require more effort.
* 64 bit Windows OS is supported on x86_64 with mingw_w64 and msys2 or pre-built binaries. Windows 7 and newer work, XP is YMMV.
* Windows 11 is supported on aarch64 starting with cpuminer-opt-24.7 using mingw_w64 & msys2. Prebuilt binaries are not available.
FreeBSD and other BSDs may work, YMMV. Alt OSs like Haiku, ReactOS, etc are not supported.
MacOS Does not work natively but will work from a Linux VM.
### Virtualization and Emulation
It is possible to run cpuminer-opt in a virtual machine subject to the above requirements but some advanced CPU features may be not be supported by the emulator. CygWin has been known to work but has significantly lower performance than running a Windows binary natively.
Virtualbox or VMWare are recommended for x86_64 hosts, UTM/Qemu is recommended for MacOS with AArch64.
* 64 bit Windows OS is supported on x86_64 with MinGW_w64 and MSys2 or pre-built binaries. Windows 7 and newer work, XP is YMMV.
* Windows 11 is supported on ARM64 using MinGW_w64 & MSys2. Prebuilt binaries are not available.
* MacOS is supported compiled from source code on Apple PCs with ARM64 CPUs (M series), x86_64 is YMMV. Prebuilt binaries are not available
* FreeBSD and other BSDs may work, YMMV.
* Mobile OSs like IOS & Android are not supported and will not work.
* Alt OSs like Haiku, ReactOS, etc are not supported and will not work.
### Server
Network access to a stratum server for shared mode pool mining. Some pools also offer solo mining.
A full node wallet for the coin to be mined solo using getwork or getblocktemplate (GBT). Some coins may not be suported, YMMV.
