Can Herd be used on operating systems other than Windows


Herd is specifically designed and marketed as a Laravel and PHP development environment for Windows. The search results do not indicate that Herd is available or supported on any other operating systems besides Windows[1][2].

The key features and descriptions of Herd emphasize that it is a "native Laravel and PHP development environment for Windows" and that it "includes everything you need to start Laravel development, including PHP and Nginx"[1][2]. There are no mentions of Herd being compatible with or available for other operating systems like macOS or Linux.

The search results are focused entirely on the Windows version of Herd and do not provide any information about the availability of Herd on other platforms. Therefore, the available evidence suggests that Herd is currently only designed and supported for use on Windows operating systems[1][2].
