# Operating system and JVM compatibility
- We recommend installing OpenSearch on RHEL- or Debian-based Linux distributions that use [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd), such as CentOS, Amazon Linux 2, and Ubuntu (LTS). OpenSearch should work on many Linux distributions, but we only test a handful.
- OpenSearch ships with a compatible version of Java in the `jdk` directory. To find its version, run `./bin/opensearch --version`.
To use a different Java installation, set the `OPENSEARCH_JAVA_HOME` environment variable to the Java install location. We recommend Java 11 (LTS), but OpenSearch also works with Java 8.
OpenSearch version | Compatible Java versions | Recommended operating systems
:--- | :--- | :---
1.x | 8, 11 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8; CentOS 7, 8; Amazon Linux 2; Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04

OpenSearch images use `centos:7` as the base image. If you run Docker locally, we recommend allowing Docker to use at least 4 GB of RAM in **Preferences** > **Resources**. OpenSearch images use `amazonlinux:2` as the base image. If you run Docker locally, set Docker to use at least 4 GB of RAM in **Preferences** > **Resources**.
