-Binaries should work on most Linux distributions as the only dependency is `zlib` which is available by default on most distroibutions. For compiled binaries to work, your processor must support SSSE3 instructions or higher (processors after 2007 have these) and your operating system must have GLIBC 2.17 or higher (Linux distributions from 2014 onwards typically have this).
