System requirements

System requirements for running the latest version of CodeQL.

Supported platforms

Additional software requirements

To generate a CodeQL database for a compiled language, you must ensure that the system can successfully build and compile your code, independently of CodeQL.

In addition, CodeQL extraction has the following requirements.

For extraction of compiled languages (C/C++, C#, Go, Java) and Ruby on Linux:

• glibc version 2.17 or greater must be installed.
• musl-c-based Linux distributions, such as Alpine Linux, are not supported.

For TypeScript extraction on all platforms:

• Node.js 14 or higher must be installed and available on the PATH as node.

For Python extraction:

• On Linux and macOS, Python 3 must be installed and available on the PATH as python3 or python.
• For Python 2 extraction on Linux and macOS, we also recommend having Python 2 installed and available on the PATH as python2.
• On Windows, the Python launcher must be installed and available on the PATH as py.exe.
