**Currently Sail supports both Linux and MacOS. Windows support is planned for a future release.**

Before using Sail, there are several dependencies that must be installed on the host system:

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/)

- [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)

- [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) or [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium) - not required, but strongly recommended for best [code-server](https://github.com/cdr/code-server) support.

If chrome is not installed, the default browser will be used.

For simple, secure and fast installation, the following command will install the latest version

of sail for your OS and architecture into `/usr/local/bin`. You will need to have `/usr/local/bin`

in your [$PATH](https://superuser.com/questions/284342/what-are-path-and-other-environment-variables-and-how-can-i-set-or-use-them) in order to use it.

To verify Sail is properly installed, run `sail --help` on your system. If everything is installed correctly, you should see Sail's help text.

You should now be able to run `sail run cdr/sail` from your terminal to start an environment designed for working

on the Sail repo.

To open GitHub or GitLab projects in a Sail environment with a single click, see the [browser extension install instructions](https://sail.dev/docs/browser-extension/).
