# Installation
## Supported Platforms
- Windows 10
- MacOS x64 & arm64 (due October '21)
- Linux (due December '21)
## Dependencies
Wails has a number of common dependencies that are required before installation:
- Go 1.17+
- npm (Node 14+)
### Go
Download Go from the [Go Downloads Page](https://golang.org/dl/).
Ensure that you follow the official [Go installation instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install#install). You will also need to ensure that your `PATH` environment variable also includes the path to your `~/go/bin` directory. Restart your terminal and do the following checks:
* Check Go is installed correctly: `go version`
* Check "~/go/bin" is in your PATH variable: `echo $PATH | grep go/bin`
### npm
Download NPM from the [Node Downloads Page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). It is best to use the latest release as that is what we generally test against.
Run `npm --version` to verify.
## Platform Specific Dependencies
You will also need to install platform specific dependencies:
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
<Tabs
defaultValue="Windows"
values={[
{label: 'Windows', value: 'Windows'},
{label: 'MacOS', value: 'MacOS'},
{label: 'Linux', value: 'Linux'},
]}>
<TabItem value="MacOS">
Coming Soon...
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Windows">
Wails requires that the <a href='https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/'>WebView2</a> runtime is installed.
Some Windows installations will already have this installed. You can check using the `wails doctor` command (see below).
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Linux">
Coming Soon...
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Optional Dependencies
- [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) for compressing your applications.
## Installing Wails
Run `go get github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails` to install the Wails CLI.
## System Check
Running `wails doctor` will check if you have the correct dependencies installed. If not, it will advise on what is missing and help on how to rectify any problems.
