# Install Aerospike

Aerospike Database is optimized for 64-bit Linux. Aerospike supports popular Linux distributions, with `.rpm` packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux variants, `.deb` packages for Ubuntu and Debian, binary packages, and source builds. Development environments on macOS and Windows are supported using [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) containers.

::: note
As virtualized and cloud environments are more susceptible to unexpected short or long disruptions, it is essential to properly tune the policies around [client connections](https://aerospike.com/docs/develop/connection-tuning-guide), specifically the [maxErrorRate](https://aerospike.com/docs/develop/connection-tuning-guide#maxerrorrate).
