We provide support for all major operating systems. Select your operating system from the table below and follow the ''Getting Started'' guide in order to set up your machine. If you need to access non-current versions of our drivers you can find them [{{SERVER}}/downloads/phidget22/libraries/ here]. You can find the driver changelog [{{SERVER}}/?view=changelog here].
These operating system pages provide drivers for using Phidgets. They help you set up your system after following the '''Getting Started''' guide for your device.  The operating systems links below are also on every ''Getting Started'' guide, so if you have not yet read the one for your device, head straight to the [[:Category:UserGuide|user guide]] for your device where you can find it and follow it.  If you are just looking to get your drivers right away you can go to the quick downloads section for the appropriate OS below. If you need to access '''non-current versions''' of our drivers you can find them [{{SERVER}}/old_drivers.php here]. You can view the changelog for the drivers here:  [[Driver Changelog]].
 
Phidgets can be run either ''directly'' through USB or ''remotely'' over a network via the [[Phidget WebService]].  Most operating systems below can run Phidgets directly, but a few can only control them over a network.  Phidgets can also probably be run on other operating systems that have support for compiling C code, and either a standard network connection for running a Phidget over a network, or a USB host controller for direct control.  We don't offer support directly for these additional operating systems, but you may find the installation and setup instructions for [[OS - Linux|Linux]] useful because compiling and custom toolchains are discussed.
 
Phidgets can run either directly or over a network on these operating systems:
