Supported operating systems and languages
This page documents the operating systems, architectures, programming languages and frameworks that Passenger supports as of version 6.0.9.
Supported operating systems
Passenger works on almost any POSIX-compliant operating system. In other words: practically any operating system on earth, except Microsoft Windows.
The following operating systems are supported.

Best effort
"Other Unix" is supported on a "best-effort" basis. We do not regularly check whether Passenger still works on other Unices, but if users report issues then we'll try to address them.
