## Requirements

Textual requires Python 3.9 or later (if you have a choice, pick the most recent Python). Textual runs on Linux, macOS, Windows and probably any OS where Python also runs.

!!! info "Your platform"

### :fontawesome-brands-linux: Linux (all distros)

All Linux distros come with a terminal emulator that can run Textual apps.

If you are using the Linux console (rather than a desktop environment), see [Linux console]](./linux-console.md) for details.

### :material-apple: macOS

The default terminal app is limited to 256 colors. We recommend installing a newer terminal such as [iterm2](https://iterm2.com/), [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/), [Kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/), or [WezTerm](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/).

# Linux Console

The Linux console is less graphically capable than the terminal emulator on your desktop.

If you find your app does not look great with the default configuration, see [font-for-textual](https://github.com/jsatchell/font-for-textual) for a possible solution.
