System Requirements

Use this list of system requirements to get the most out of Salesforce CLI and developer tools.

Operating Systems

Salesforce CLI supports the following operating systems.

  • Windows—Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit) or later
  • Mac—macOS 10.11 or later
  • Linux—Ubuntu 14.0.4

Code Editor or IDE

You can use any code editor, including Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, a set of Visual Studio Code extensions that is designed for development on the Lightning Platform.

If you’re using Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, keep in mind that many of the installation commands are unavailable in the command palette. If you can’t find a command in VS Code, run it in the integrated terminal.

Note

Version Control System

You can use any version control system (VCS). We recommend that you use GitHub to take advantage of the samples in our GitHub repository.
