- FluidSynth is developed on Linux and thus Linux usually has the most up to date support.
- It is also regularly tested on Mac OSX. For instructions on how to install fluidsynth on this platform, see below.
- FluidSynth can also run on Windows, and building is supported with either MinGW or MSVC.
- FluidSynth may be run on FreeBSD and its derivatives.
- We have had successful reports on FluidSynth running on Solaris and OS/2, but this is not officially supported. It's likely that it will also work on other platforms (most noteably Unix like operating systems).
Many operating systems already provide a package for FluidSynth. See the graphic to right for the currently available packages for various Linux distributions, MacOS Ports and BSD derivatives.
