All SpatialOS development	the SpatialOS CLI PowerShell 3.0 and later / Windows Command Prompt / Git BASH (For local deployments, you must use PowerShell or Command Prompt.) Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Worker SDK: C#	Mono — required for the generated build scripts only.
Worker SDK: C++	A C++11-compliant compiler: Visual Studio 2015 or later
Worker SDK: Java	Gradle version 2.10
Worker SDK: C	Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and above.

You can find installation instructions for the basic requirements in the tools installation guide for Windows.

macOS requirements

We support up-to-date versions of macOS Sierra, El Capitan and High Sierra.

Required for
All SpatialOS development	the SpatialOS CLI Any Bash terminal
Worker SDK: C#	Mono
Worker SDK: C++	A C++11-compliant compiler: Tested with Xcode 8. You’ll need to use the -std=c++11 flag when compiling your worker
Worker SDK: Java	Gradle version 2.10
Worker SDK: C	OS X Yosemite (10.10) and above

You can find installation instructions for the basic requirements in the tools installation guide for macOS.

Linux requirements

All major distributions (e.g,. Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS) on machines with an AMD64 processor are supported for use with the Worker SDK in C++, C# and Java. The Launcher is not supported, and the SpatialOS CLI is in beta.

Required for
All SpatialOS development	the SpatialOS CLI Any Bash terminal
Worker SDK: C#	Mono
Worker SDK: C++	A C++11-compliant compiler: Tested with GCC 5.4.0. You’ll need to use the -std=c++11 flag when compiling your worker
Worker SDK: Java	Gradle version 2.10 or later
Worker SDK: C	gcc 5.4.0 with GLIBCXX_3.4.21 and above.

You can find installation instructions for the basic requirements in the tools installation guide for Linux.

Browsers

To access the Console and Inspector, you’ll need one of the following:

• Chrome (latest stable version)
• Firefox (latest stable version)

spatial worker build and spatial worker codegen include an authentication step that opens a browser tab. This authentication won’t work if your default browser is Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. It’s most reliable when your default browser is Chrome or Firefox.

Hardware

Hardware requirements apply to all currently supported operating systems.

	Recommended
Processor	i7
Memory	16GB RAM
Network	High-speed broadband internet connection
Storage	12GB available space

Network settings

• Your firewall settings must allow outbound TCP connections on ports 443 and 444 in order to authenticate on the SpatialOS platform, download SDKs and contact other cloud services.

• You must not filter inbound and outbound connections to localhost (IP: 127.0.0.1) or submit such connections to proxy rules.

  You must also not block the opening of ports bound to localhost. This is required to run local deployments via the spatial local command.

• You must allow TCP and UDP outbound connections on the 8000-8999 port range for connecting clients to a cloud deployment. This is also a requirement for any third-party users who want to connect to your deployments (when you share a game).

• You must keep port 22000 free for local deployments.

Supported deployment environments

When you build workers to be deployed, the only supported deployment platform for server-workers is Linux.

Windows, macOS and Linux are also supported for running client-workers and unmanaged workers.
