## Support for systems other than the MS Windows family ##
Notepad ++ is created only for systems from the MS Windows family ([list of currently supported OS versions](https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/SUPPORTED_SYSTEM.md)). Due to lack of human resources, there are no plans to porting Notepad++ to other systems. If necessary, you can try use some Windows API emulator (e.g. Wine under Linux or [similar solutions for Mac OS](https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/18948/notepad-for-mac)). You can also use some virtual machines software.
Keep in mind that the above solutions introduce an additional layer, which may reduce program performance, also not everything may work properly.
