Where Can I Install the GlobalProtect App?
Find out what endpoint OSes are compatible with each
GlobalProtect™ app version.
The following sections show operating systems on which you can install each release of the
GlobalProtect™ app.
The compatibility lists that follow show compatibility with
major versions for each platform only and does specifically call out minor versions.
However, support the stated support for the major versions implicitly includes support
for all minor versions for the listed major versions.
- Apple macOS
- Microsoft Windows
- Linux
- Apple iOS and iPadOS
- Google Android
- Google Chrome
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Hypervisors
Use the OS compatibility information to determine what version
of the GlobalProtect app you want your users to run on their endpoints.
Because the version that an end user must download and install to enable
successful connectivity to your network depends on your environment, there is no
direct download link for the GlobalProtect app on the Palo Alto Networks site. In
addition, the way you deploy the GlobalProtect app to your users
depends on the OS of the endpoint.
Apple macOS
The following table shows which macOS versions support which versions of the
GlobalProtect app. For instructions on installing the GlobalProtect app on a macOS
endpoint, see the installation instructions for 5.1, 5.2, and 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3.
