- Supported versions indicate that IDL was either built on the lowest version listed or tested on that version. You can install and run IDL on other versions that are binary-compatible.
- An X-Windows manager is required for Macintosh. IDL was tested using XQuartz 2.7.11.
- The 64-bit Windows installer contains 32-bit binaries so that you can launch IDL in 32-bit mode on 64-bit Windows systems. You can find the 32-bit versions of IDL in the Windows Start menu under Programs > IDL x.x > 32-bit or Programs > ENVI x.x > IDL x.x > 32-bit.
- IDL Help requires an HTML5-compatible browser.
