 ## Prerequisites
 
 - **macOS or Linux** - VDP works on macOS or Linux, but does not support Windows yet.
 
 - **Docker and Docker Compose** - VDP uses Docker Compose (specifically, `Compose V2` and `Compose specification`) to run all services at local. Please install the latest stable [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) before using VDP.
