If your machine runs a mainstream Linux distribution, it will most likely run V.

Minimum

• x86-64, arm64 or riscv64 processor.
• 512 MB RAM.
• 4 GB disk space for a raw image installed on a drive. The compressed live ISO is about 1 GB to download, and it boots without installing.

Recommended

• 4 GB RAM. This is the amount the project tests and develops against.
• A USB drive or microSD card for writing the image, unless you’re using a VM.
• A disk to install to. DriveSetup can format it as ext4, XFS or Btrfs. Live images use SquashFS and boot from any supported media.

Hardware support

V runs on the Linux kernel, so your hardware works to the extent the kernel drivers do. If a device doesn’t work, report it on the GitHub issue tracker.

For single-board computers, see the boards site.
