Which operating systems does Sigma File Manager support?

Updated

Sigma File Manager runs on Windows and Linux. The project describes itself as a file manager (explorer) app "designed for Windows and Linux," and its FAQ confirms compatibility with both operating systems. No other platforms—such as macOS, iOS, or Android—are mentioned on the site, so you should assume Windows and Linux are the only supported targets unless the project states otherwise in a future release.

What the site confirms

Question Answer from the site
Windows support Yes
Linux support Yes
macOS / other platforms Not mentioned
Mobile platforms Not mentioned

The FAQ entry is direct: "Is Sigma File Manager compatible with both Windows and Linux? Yes, Sigma File Manager is designed to work seamlessly on both Windows and Linux operating systems."

What this means in practice

  • If you use Windows or Linux, the app is intended for your system, and you can proceed to download it from the project's GitHub page (the site's "Download on Github" link).
  • If you use macOS or a mobile device, the site gives no indication of support. Don't plan on it working there based on the current information.
  • If you manage a mixed environment, Windows and Linux machines are both covered, which makes the app a candidate for a single cross-platform file management tool across those two systems.

A caveat worth knowing before you install

The site's banner announces an Alpha v2 release. Alpha-stage software can change quickly and may have rough edges, so if you depend on a file manager for critical work, test it on a non-essential machine or alongside your current file manager first. The site also notes the app is "rapidly evolving," which fits an alpha release cadence.

How to check your own system

  1. Confirm your OS is Windows or Linux (check Settings → System → About on Windows, or uname -a in a terminal on Linux).
  2. Go to the project site and use the "Download on Github" link to reach the release page.
  3. Pick the build that matches your platform and install it.
  4. Verify it launches and can browse your drives; if it fails, the alpha status is the most likely explanation, and checking the GitHub issues page is the next step.

If your OS isn't Windows or Linux, the practical answer is to look for an alternative file manager rather than wait on unannounced support.
