Platform support

Last updated: 2026-06-27

microagent supports Linux and macOS hosts. The docs describe the behavior you should expect on supported hosts in the current release. Start with the command you want to run; use doctor when the host itself is the question.

  • Linux is supported through the Linux KVM backend.
  • macOS on Apple silicon is supported through Apple Virtualization.framework.
  • WSL is a compatibility lane through the Linux backend when WSL exposes the Linux host capabilities microagent needs. Run microagent doctor inside WSL before creating workspaces.
  • Windows Hyper-V is experimental. Use it for evaluation unless a release note or task explicitly scopes Windows host support for your workflow.

Check the host

Section titled “Check the host”

microagent doctor reports the active backend and the host capabilities microagent can see from the current shell.

Terminal window
microagent doctor

If doctor reports a missing prerequisite, fix that host capability before starting a workspace. For the detailed prerequisite list, see Host requirements.
