This is a list of operating systems MPD is tested and known to run on, but is not limited to. This is probably not nearly a complete list, please feel free to add what you have success to get MPD working on.

• Linux (all distributions that have the dependencies)
  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • Fedora
  • OpenSuSE
  • ArchLinux
  • TomTom
  • Gentoo
  • OpenWrt
  • ...
• FreeBSD
  • MPD--uClinux - A branch of MPD for uClinux running MMU-less machines
• OpenBSD (Note: If you don't run IPv6, disable it explicitly via configure-script, or MPD will bind to tcp6 (applies to NetBSD too, but the pkgsrc version already disables IPv6. Does apply to FreeBSD, but they have a sysctl for that))
• OpenSolaris
  • Nexenta
  • Shillix
• NetBSD
• Solaris
• HPUX
• MacOS X

Some future version of MPD will run on Windows.
