MITK is a cross-platform framework that is available for the following platforms:

Windows
Linux
macOS

Supported Platforms Details

The MITK team provides support for the most frequently used platforms and continuously runs testing procedures to ensure compatibility. Due to the large amount of possible combinations of operating systems and compiler versions, we divide platform support into two test categories: Tier 1 and Tier 2.

Although MITK may be built on a broader range of platform-compiler combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by the MITK development team.

In general, only 64-bit builds are supported.

Tier 1 Platforms

All Tier 1 platforms are continuously tested by our unit test suite and other internal testing procedures. Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized and corrected as soon as possible.

Platform	Compilers
Microsoft Windows 10	Visual Studio 2019 (latest update)
Linux Ubuntu 22.04	Default GCC version
Linux Ubuntu 20.04	Default GCC version

Tier 2 Platforms

Tier 2 platforms may or may not be tested on a regular basis. Some Tier 2 platforms are used by individual members of the MITK development team on a daily basis and some only receive occasional testing. While we strive to support these platforms, MITK users should note that errors may be present in released versions as well as in the current master branch.

Platform	Compilers
Microsoft Windows 10	Visual Studio 2022 (latest update)
Apple macOS 11 "Big Sur"	Default Apple Clang version
Apple macOS 10.15 "Catalina"	Default Apple Clang version

All platforms not listed above are not officially supported by the MITK team. However, we will happily accept contributions to improve support for other platforms as long as we have the hardware and capacity for maintenance.
