Wolfram Computation Meets Knowledge

System Requirements

For Cloud

For the best experience with Mathematica in the Wolfram Cloud, we recommend these environments on desktop and mobile devices.

For Desktop

Mathematica 13.3 is optimized for the latest operating systems and hardware, so you can use any system you want.

Mathematica 13.3 has been fully tested on the Linux distributions listed above. On new Linux distributions, additional compatibility libraries may need to be installed. It is likely that Mathematica will run successfully on other distributions based on the Linux kernel 3.15 or later and glibc 2.17 or later.

Mathematica supports an X Window System front end, and uses the Qt application framework for its user interface—the same used by the major Linux desktop environment KDE. Regular tests are run on both enterprise and popular open-source Linux distributions.


Additional Notes:

  • For assistance migrating your Mathematica installation to a new computer, fill out the Wolfram System Transfer Form »
  • To use the C compilation feature in Mathematica, a C compiler is required to be present.
  • To use Mathematica's built-in GPU computing capabilities, you will need a dual-precision graphics card that supports OpenCL or CUDA, such as many cards from NVIDIA, AMD and others.
