   3    A platform (that is, a CPU architecture and operating system combination)
   4    is considered supported by the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> development
   5    community if the code contains provisions to work on that platform and
   6    it has recently been verified to build and pass its regression tests
   7    on that platform.  Currently, most testing of platform compatibility
   8    is done automatically by test machines in the
   9    <a class="ulink" href="https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/" target="_top">PostgreSQL Build Farm</a>.
  10    If you are interested in using <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> on a platform
  11    that is not represented in the build farm, but on which the code works
  12    or can be made to work, you are strongly encouraged to set up a build
  13    farm member machine so that continued compatibility can be assured.
  14   </p><p>
  15    In general, <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> can be expected to work on
  16    these CPU architectures: x86, PowerPC, S/390, SPARC, ARM, MIPS,
  17    and RISC-V, including
  18    big-endian, little-endian, 32-bit, and 64-bit variants where applicable.
  19   </p><p>
  20    <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> can be expected to work on current
  21    versions of these operating systems: Linux, Windows,
  22    FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, macOS, Solaris, and illumos.
  23    Other Unix-like systems may also work but are not currently
  24    being tested.  In most cases, all CPU architectures supported by
  25    a given operating system will work.  Look in
  26    <a class="xref" href="installation-platform-notes.html" title="17.7. Platform-Specific Notes">Section 17.7</a> below to see if
  27    there is information
  28    specific to your operating system, particularly if using an older system.
  29   </p><p>
  30    If you have installation problems on a platform that is known
  31    to be supported according to recent build farm results, please report
  32    it to <code class="email">&lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org">pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org</a>&gt;</code>.  If you are interested
  33    in porting <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> to a new platform,
  34    <code class="email">&lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org">pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org</a>&gt;</code> is the appropriate place
  35    to discuss that.
  36   </p><p>
  37    Historical versions of <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> or POSTGRES
  38    also ran on CPU architectures including Alpha, Itanium, M32R, M68K,
  39    M88K, NS32K, PA-RISC, SuperH, and VAX,
  40    and operating systems including 4.3BSD, AIX, BEOS,
  41    BSD/OS, DG/UX, Dynix, HP-UX, IRIX, NeXTSTEP, QNX, SCO, SINIX, Sprite, SunOS,
  42    Tru64 UNIX, and ULTRIX.
