Qiskit no longer supports Linux i686 and 32 bit Windows. Starting in Qiskit
|
|
2.0 a 64 bit platform is needed to run Qiskit. The user base for 32bit
|
|
architectures is relatively small and as Qiskit continues to focus on
|
|
improving performance to handle the increased scale in the complexity
|
|
of quantum computing hardware maintaining support for 32 bit platforms
|
|
is proving increasingly difficult. This coupled with the larger
|
|
scientific/numeric Python community's trend away from 32 bit platform
|
|
support maintaining support for 32bit platforms is no longer viable.
|
|
Qiskit 1.x will still continue to support 32 bit platforms, but starting
|
|
in this 2.0.0 release Qiskit no longer supports these platforms, will
|
|
not publish pre-compiled binaries for these platforms any longer, and
|
|
there is no longer any guarantee of being able to build from source on
|
|
32 bit platforms.
