# Other platforms #

## Building from source ##

If your platform isn't listed here, you may still be able to build
from source. You should be able to build RethinkDB on most Linux-based
systems &mdash; check out the generic <a href="/docs/build">build
instructions</a>. If you get RethinkDB running on your platform,
please <a href="/community">contribute</a> a package!

<!--
## FreeBSD ##
Thanks to the efforts of [@hungte] (https://github.com/hungte), RethinkDB has
[experimental FreeBSD
support](https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/pull/688). Please help improve
RethinkDB on FreeBSD by testing the build!
-->

## Other architectures ##
Currently the RethinkDB server only supports x86 and x86\_64 architectures on
Unix-based platforms. Our long-term goal is to port RethinkDB to every
widely-used platform. [Get involved](/community/) in the development
effort and help port RethinkDB to more platforms.
