Besides for working out-of-the-box on Windows, macOS, and AIX, Dyalog APL runs on many Linuxes. However, to function, some require additional action beyond simple installation. As of 2019-05-15, the necessary actions for versions 16.0, 17.0, and 17.1 are:
{| class=wikitable
! Distribution    !! Action
|-
|Debian 8.2, 9.8, 9.9 || no pre-reqs
|-
|Fedora 29, 30        || <code>dnf install ncurses-compat-libs</code>
|-
|Linux Mint 18.0, 19.0|| no pre-reqs
|-
|openSUSE 15.0        || <code>zypper install libncurses5</code>
|-
|CentOS/RedHat 6      || not supported for 17.1 as glibc is at too low a level
|-
|CentOS/RedHat 7      || no pre-reqs
|-
|RedHat 8            || <code>rpm -Uvh ncurses-compat-libs</code>  (note: RH8 would not install in a VM)
|-
|Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04  || no pre-reqs
|-
|Ubuntu 19.04        || <code>apt-get install libtinfo5</code>
|}
