Hi

I tried to run ogs6.3 on Debian 10 (buster), the most recent Debian distribution. However i found that most third party libraries are already to old. My question is, on which distribution and Version should the binary of the ogs6.3-release work out of the box?

Thanks in advance

Best regard

We built OGS 6.3 on Ubuntu 19.10. I have no experience with Debian but according to [this post](https://askubuntu.com/a/445496) Debian 10 can be upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10??

Nevertheless I can also recommend to download and run OGS as a [Singularity](https://sylabs.io/guides/3.0/user-guide/quick_start.html#quick-installation-steps) container. See the docs for usage instructions:

Thanks for your answer. I will give Ubuntu a try.

In the meantime i found out, that building ogs6 from source code works perfeclty on Debian 10.
