What are the system requirements for installing Steam?

The system requirements for installing Steam can vary depending on the operating system being used. For Windows, Steam typically requires a minimum of Windows 7 or later, with at least 1 GB of RAM and a direct X 9 compatible graphics card. The installation also requires approximately 15 GB of free disk space to accommodate the Steam client and its initial installation. For macOS, the operating system needs to be at least macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) or later. Similar to Windows, the Mac must have at least 1 GB of RAM and should meet the minimum requirements for graphics support. For Linux, Steam supports various distributions, and it is recommended to have a modern 64-bit distribution along with necessary dependencies. Users will also need at least 1 GB of RAM and adequate storage space. It is always best to check the official Steam website for the most current and detailed requirements, as they can change with updates to the client or supported operating systems. The website should also provide additional information about any changes in requirements or compatibility.
