| Occasional manual testing is done on the |
| `GCC compile farm <https://portal.cfarm.net/>`_, which provides free shell |
| access to uncommon hardware. |
| |
| On architectures without prebuilt wheels, psutil can be installed from source |
| (see :ref:`install_from_source`): |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| pip install psutil --no-binary psutil |
| |
| Linux wheels are published for both glibc (manylinux) and musl. The musl ones |
| cover x86_64 and aarch64 only. |
