### Dependencies

If you are not using one of the above CI providers then make sure your system
has these dependencies installed.
Cypress runs on many CI providers' virtual machine environments out-of-the-box without needing additional dependencies installed.

#### Linux

#### Ubuntu/Debian

```shell
apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libnotify-dev libnss3 libxss1 libasound2 libxtst6 xauth xvfb
```

#### CentOS

```shell
yum install -y xorg-x11-server-Xvfb gtk2-devel gtk3-devel libnotify-devel GConf2 nss libXScrnSaver alsa-lib
```
If you see a message about a missing dependency when you run Cypress in a Linux CI environment, then refer to the [Linux Prerequisites](/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#Linux-Prerequisites) lists for guidance.
