Antigravity System Requirements by Platform
Antigravity is a desktop IDE, so the first requirement is choosing the installer that matches the operating system and processor architecture. Windows users should distinguish x64 PCs from ARM64 devices. Mac users should choose Apple Silicon for M-series machines and Intel for older Macs. Linux users should prefer the official repository route when their distribution is compatible.
The minimum requirements below are enough to install and open the IDE. The recommended column is a better target if you plan to use agent workflows, large repositories, terminals, browser previews, and AI-assisted refactoring at the same time.
| Platform | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 or later, 64-bit x64 or ARM64, 4 GB RAM, 500 MB free space. | Windows 11, 8 GB RAM or more, SSD storage, current browser and terminal tools. |
| macOS | macOS 12 Monterey or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB free space. | macOS 14 or later, 8 GB RAM or more, Apple Silicon for best battery and startup performance. |
| Linux | Modern Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, or compatible desktop with X11 or Wayland and recent glibc libraries. | Recent LTS or stable release, 8 GB RAM or more, repository-based install, updated graphics and certificate packages. |
Hardware and Network Checklist Before Downloading
Most installation failures happen because the wrong architecture was selected or the machine is short on storage, not because the editor itself is unusually heavy. Before downloading, check the CPU architecture, operating system version, available disk space, and whether security tools will allow the installer to run.
Antigravity can open small projects on modest hardware, but AI-first development benefits from memory headroom. Agents may inspect files, run commands, open previews, and keep terminal output in context. If your system already struggles with a browser, terminal, and another IDE open, upgrade RAM or close heavy background applications before starting serious work.
- CPU architecture - Use x64 for most Windows PCs, ARM64 for ARM Windows devices, Apple Silicon for M-series Macs, and Intel for older Macs.
- Memory - 4 GB is a practical floor for basic editing; 8 GB or more is safer for agent sessions and larger repositories.
- Storage - Keep at least 1 GB free for the app, updates, caches, extensions, and workspace metadata.
- Internet access - The editor can launch locally, but sign-in, model access, updates, and AI requests require network access.
Pre-Install Compatibility Check
Identify your OS and processor
Check whether you are using Windows x64, Windows ARM64, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, or a supported Linux distribution. This decides which installer or package command you should use.
Confirm memory, storage, and network
Make sure the machine has enough RAM, free SSD space, and network access for sign-in and AI features. If your company uses a proxy or firewall, allow the IDE before troubleshooting the installer.
Install from the matching page
After compatibility is confirmed, use the latest version page or the relevant Windows, macOS, or Linux guide. Reopen the app and check the About dialog after installation.
Windows requirements
Windows users should run a 64-bit system and choose x64 or ARM64 carefully. If SmartScreen or endpoint protection warns about a new installer, verify that the download came from the official link before continuing.
macOS requirements
Mac users should check both macOS version and processor type. Apple Silicon builds are for M-series Macs, while Intel builds are for older Macs. Keep macOS security updates current for smoother sign-in and update behavior.
Linux requirements
Linux users should prefer a supported desktop distribution with current libraries, certificates, and package metadata. Repository installs make future updates and dependency handling more predictable than manual archives.
Choose the Correct Antigravity Installer
If you only remember one rule, match the installer to the machine, not to the file that looks most familiar. A Windows x64 installer will not help an Intel Mac, and a macOS Apple Silicon disk image is not the right choice for an Intel Mac. Linux users should avoid random tarballs unless they have a specific reason and understand how updates will be handled later.
When the machine is compatible but the app still will not install, check whether an older Antigravity process is running, whether your account has permission to install applications, and whether antivirus or corporate endpoint protection blocked the package.
Download path
Use the latest version page for current Windows and macOS installers, or the platform-specific pages when you need architecture details, Linux package commands, or troubleshooting notes.
Requirement Problems and How to Fix Them
If Antigravity does not install or launch, start with compatibility checks before reinstalling repeatedly.
The installer says the system is not supported
Confirm the operating system version first. Older Windows builds, older macOS releases, and unsupported Linux libraries can block installation even when the hardware looks powerful enough.
The app installs but AI features do not work
Check sign-in status, firewall rules, proxy configuration, and whether your network blocks access to the cloud services used by the IDE.
The wrong build was installed
Uninstall the mismatched build only after downloading the correct one. Keep your project folders separate and backed up through version control before changing application installs.
Performance is slow on large projects
Close heavy applications, move the workspace to SSD storage, update the IDE, and use smaller agent tasks when the repository is large or the machine has limited RAM.
