Meteor currently supports **OS X, Windows, and Linux**. Only 64-bit is supported.
Apple M1 is natively supported from Meteor 2.5.1 onward (for older versions, you will need to run with a [rosetta terminal](https://osxdaily.com/2020/11/18/how-run-homebrew-x86-terminal-apple-silicon-mac/)).
<h2 id="prereqs">Prerequisites and useful information</h2>
You need to install the Meteor command line tool to create, run, and manage your Meteor.js projects. Check the prerequisites and follow the installation process below.
- If you are on a Mac M1 (Arm64 version) you need to have Rosetta 2 installed, as Meteor uses it for running MongoDB. Check how to install it [here](https://osxdaily.com/2020/12/04/how-install-rosetta-2-apple-silicon-mac/)
- Meteor works with Node.js version >= 10 and <= 14, for Windows you need to have Node.js installed for running the npm installer (tip: you can use [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) for managing node versions).
- Meteor supports Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 and up.
<h2 id="prereqs">Prerequisites</h2>
<h3 id="prereqs-node">Node.js version</h3>
- Node.js version >= 10 and <= 14 is required.
- We recommend you using [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or [Volta](https://volta.sh/) for managing Node.js versions.
<h3 id="prereqs-os">Operating System (OS)</h3>
- Meteor currently supports **OS X, Windows, and Linux**. Only 64-bit is supported.

- Disabling antivirus (Windows Defender, etc.) will improve performance.
- For compatibility, Linux binaries are built with CentOS 6.4 i386/amd64.
<h3 id="prereqs-mobile">Mobile Development</h3>
