Minimum system requirements
For 32-bit x86 systems, support is only ensured starting with those with Pentium Pro (i686) class CPUs.
All x86-64, aarch64, riscv64 and loongarch64 (UEFI) systems are supported.
Packaging status
All Limine releases since 7.x use Semantic Versioning for their naming.
Binary releases
For convenience, for point releases, binaries are distributed. These binaries
are shipped as assets as part of the
Limine GitHub releases
(see the limine-binary-* files).
The limine host tool is shipped in highly portable source form as part of the
binary release package. For most/all UNIX-like OSes, in order to rebuild it,
simply run make in the unpacked binary release directory. Alternatively, it
can be built stand-alone using any C99 compatible compiler.
limine host tool binaries for x86 Windows are provided as part of the binary
release package.
Build and Install Instructions
The following steps are not necessary if using a binary release.
