+title: "Supported platforms"
+description: All platforms supported by moor, and how to use them
+---
+
+Being built ontop of the sqlite3 database, moor can run on almost all Dart platforms.
+Since the initial release of moor, the Dart and Flutter ecosystems have changed a lot
+(`dart:ffi` wasn't a even thing when moor first came out).
+
+To achive platform independence, moor separates its core apis from a platform-specific
+database implementation. The core apis are pure-Dart and run on all Dart platforms, even
+outside of Flutter. When writing moor apps, prefer to mainly use the apis in 
+`package:moor/moor.dart` as they are guaranteed to work across all platforms.
+Depending on your platform, you can choose a different `QueryExecutor`.
+
+## Mobile (Android and iOS)
+
+There are two moor implementations for mobile that you can use:
+
+### using `moor_flutter`
+
+The original [`moor_flutter`](https://pub.dev/packages/moor_flutter) package uses `sqflite` and
+only works on Android and iOS.
+For new projects, we generally recommend the newer ffi-based implementation, but `moor_flutter`
+is still maintained and suppported.
+
+### using `moor/ffi`
+
+The new `package:moor/ffi.dart` implementation uses `dart:ffi` to bind to sqlite3 on Android and iOS.
+This is the recommended approach for newer projects as described in the [getting started]({{<relref "Getting started/_index.md">}}) guide.
+
+To ensure that your app ships with the latest sqlite3 version, also add a dependency to the `sqlite3_flutter_libs`
+package when using `package:moor/ffi.dart`!
+
+## Web
+
+_Main article: [Web]({{<relref "Other engines/web.md">}})_
+
+For apps that run on the web, you can use moor's experimental web implementation, located
+in `package:moor/moor_web.dart`.
+As it binds to [sql.js](https://github.com/sql-js/sql.js), special setup is required. Please
+read the main article for details.
+
+## Desktop
+
+Moor also supports all major Desktop operating systems where Dart runs on by using the 
+`VmDatabase` from `package:moor/ffi.dart`. Depending on your operating system, further
+setup might be required:
+
+### Windows
+
+On Windows, you can [download sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/download.html) and extract
+`sqlite3.dll` into a folder that's in your `PATH` environment variable to use moor.
+
+You can also ship a custom `sqlite3.dll` along with your app. See the section below for
+details.
+
+### Linux
+
+On most distributions, `libsqlite3.so` is installed already. If you only need to use moor for
+development, you can just install the sqlite3 libraries. On Ubuntu and other Debian-based
+distros, you can install `libsqlite3-dev` package for this. Virtually every other distribution
+will also have a prebuilt package for sqlite.
+
+You can also ship a custom `libsqlite3.so` along with your app. See the section below for
+details.
+
+### macOS
+
+This one is easy! Just use the `VmDatabase` from `package:moor/ffi.dart`. No further setup is
+necessary. If you need the latest sqlite3 version, further setup is necessary. In that case,
+keep on reading.
+
+### Bundling sqlite with your app
+
+If you don't want to use the `sqlite3` version from the operating system (or if it's not
+available), you can also ship `sqlite3` with your app.
+
+This example shows how to do that on Linux, by using a custom `sqlite3.so` that we assume
+lives next to your application:
+
+```dart
+import 'dart:ffi';
+import 'dart:io';
+import 'package:sqlite3/sqlite3.dart';
+import 'package:sqlite3/open.dart';
+
+void main() {
+  open.overrideFor(OperatingSystem.linux, _openOnLinux);
+
+  final db = sqlite3.openInMemory();
+  db.dispose();
+}
+
+DynamicLibrary _openOnLinux() {
+  final script = File(Platform.script.toFilePath());
+  final libraryNextToScript = File('${script.path}/sqlite3.so');
+  return DynamicLibrary.open(libraryNextToScript.path);
+}
+// _openOnWindows could be implemented similarly by opening `sqlite3.dll`
+```
