## Supported Linux Distributions

Steampipe requires glibc version 2.34 or higher. It will not function on systems with an older glibc version.

Steampipe is tested on the latest versions of Linux LTS distributions. While it may work on other distributions with the required glibc version, official support and testing are limited to the following:


| Distribution | Version | glibc Version | Notes |
|--------------------|---------|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Ubuntu LTS | 24.04 | 2.39 | |
| Ubuntu | 22.04 | 2.35 | To cover Windows WSL2, which may be behind |
| CentOS (Stream) | 9 | 2.34 | |
| RHEL | 9 | 2.34 | |
| Amazon Linux | 2023 | 2.34 | |
