The tools are designed to be portable and as far as possible platform and hardware agnostic. The suite is developed on Arch Linux and is additionally tested on Debian (Trixie / Sid), Fedora (current), Void and FreeBSD (current release) (at least). It is also possible to build and run mwp on MacOS (from mwptools 2024.11.20) and Windows (Msys2 / standalone installer from 2024.12.07).
