Current Platforms

The current version of Dyalog is version 17.1. This is available in:

  • Unicode and Classic editions – Dyalog Ltd recommends the Unicode version unless you already have large applications written using the Classic edition.
  • 32-bit and 64-bit versions – the 32-bit version will run on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems; the 64-bit version requires a 64-bit operating system.

Current Platform Support

Dyalog version 17.1 is fully supported on the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft Windows – Windows 7 onwards (Windows Server 2008 onwards). Microsoft.NET bridge requires .NET 4.0 or later
  • IBM AIX – p7, AIX 7.2 onwards
  • Linux x86/x86_64 – built on Debian 8 but works on most recent distributions (see this forum post for more details)
  • macOS (target Mac must have been introduced in 2010 or later) – macOS X Yosemite onwards
  • ARM Linux on the Raspberry Pi and similar devices (Raspbian Jessie or later (ARMhf) hardware floating-point support is required)

NOTE: Although the Dyalog programming language is identical on all platforms, differences do exist in the tools and interfaces that are available on each platform.

Future Platform Support

Support is planned (but no release date has been set) for Android.

We are monitoring the Apple iOS platform, but it is not currently clear that it makes sense to develop a dynamic application development tool for this platform (due to restrictions imposed by the environment). A new product with reduced functionality may be required.
