System Compatibility

    Norg should run on any platform able to compile nim code using nimble.
    It has been tested on the following operating systems:

    • FreeBSD
    • Arch Linux
    • AlmaLinux
    • Rocky Linux
    • Debian

    Ultimately, any system that can compile the code and has the borg or restic binary files in the running user's $PATH environment variable should be able to run norg without issue.

    Windows Support

    Running norg on Windows is feasibly possible (for Restic repositories, Borg is not supported on Windows), and is planned for a future release. Norg uses fairly pure nim code, which should be transferrable between Operating Systems. The only thing lacking for Windows is a reference to the correct path for running Restic. This should be an easy fix, and will work in a future release.
