OpenMx runs on a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS-X, and most popular variants of Linux. OpenMx scripts that are written within one operating system can be used on other operating systems without modification. This platform–independence is useful in today's heterogeneous computing environments where each researcher on a team may have a different preferred computing platform. In addition, this multi–platform support means that heterogeneous grids of computers can be used to run OpenMx, a common occurrence in parallel distributed computing environments.
