# Supported Environments

> Sync Gateway's Supported Operating System and Cloud environments  
> Sync Gateway is supported on several popular operating systems and virtual environments.

## [](#supported-versions)Supported Versions

Make sure that your chosen operating system or cloud environment is listed in one of the following tables before you install _Sync Gateway_. See the [Deprecated Versions](#deprecated-versions) section for information about platform support changes, including deprecated platforms.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Sync Gateway clusters on mixed platforms are not supported. Nodes in a Sync Gateway cluster should all be running on the same OS, and every effort should be made to apply the same OS patches across the entire cluster.
