Altair Feko 2021.2 officially supports the same platforms as the Altair Simulation Products (which may be found in the Altair Community Documentation).

For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 SP1 a minimum version of libxcb-xinput0 1.13-3.3.1 is required.

It is possible to run on other 64-bit Linux workstation platforms which are not officially supported. These include:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.9
  • CentOS 7.9


For CentOS and RHEL 7.9 the following packages are required:

  • xcb-util.x86_64
  • xcb-util-wm.x86_64
  • xcb-util-image.x86_64
  • xcb-util-keysyms.x86_64
  • xcb-util-renderutil.x86_64


The Feko workstation installation requires a minimum version of:

  • FreeType 2.6
  • Glibc 2.17
  • Libstdc++.so.6.0.19


Note: Altair Feko may install and run successfully on non-supported Linux distributions, but Altair does not test, certify or warrant the reliability of the products on these platforms.
