Supported platforms¶
Vulkan API is completely platform-agnostic, which allows it to run on various operating systems.
The required drivers for Vulkan are usually part of your graphic card’s drivers.
Update your graphics drivers as often as possible since new drivers with Vulkan updates are released frequently.
Driver updates contain new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
Check out Khronos website for more information.
Microsoft Windows¶
We support x64 Microsoft Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
We have build instructions for Windows.
Linux¶
We support every x64 Linux distribution for which Vulkan drivers exist.
We have specific build instructions for Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch..
If you have found a way to set it up for other Linux distributions, please open a pull request and let us know!
macOS and iOS¶
We do not support macOS or iOS because it would require us to use MoltenVK to get Vulkan running on Mac OS.
Additionally, this would require some changes in the engines as not all of Inexor’s dependencies are available on macOS or iOS.
Android¶
We also do not support Android because this would require some changes in the engines as not all of Inexor’s dependencies are available on Android.
