Operating system support

Domino supports recent versions of the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu Linux

  • Windows 10

  • macOS

Linux

You must run the Domino CLI in a GUI-based Linux environment. The CLI doesn’t work on headless Linux machines.

Windows

Domino recommends that you use the version of the Domino CLI that comes bundled with a 64-bit JRE. The 32-bit version is deprecated.

macOS

You must have root privileges to run the Domino CLI for macOS. If you didn’t enter administrator credentials during the installer process, you can add export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/domino" (assuming the default installation folder) to bash_profile.
