### Unsupported Unix operating systems
There is nothing that prevents GitLab from running on other Unix operating systems.
This means you may get it to work on systems running FreeBSD or OS X.
If you want to do this, please be aware it could be a lot of work.
Please consider using a virtual machine to run GitLab.
### Other operating systems such as Windows
GitLab does **not** run on Windows and we have no plans of supporting it in the near future.
Please consider using a virtual machine to run GitLab.
## Ruby versions
GitLab requires Ruby (MRI) 2.0 or 2.1
You will have to use the standard MRI implementation of Ruby.
We love [JRuby](http://jruby.org/) and [Rubinius](http://rubini.us/)) but GitLab needs several Gems that have native extensions.
