Note

GroupDocs.Merger for .NET does not require any external software or third-party tools to be installed. To install GroupDocs.Merger for .NET just follow one of the ways as described in the Installation section. On Linux and macOS, processing OneNote and SVG documents needs the additional dependencies described in Linux and macOS.

GroupDocs.Merger for .NET can be used on any operating system where the .NET framework is installed including, but not limited to:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and later
• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and later (x64, x86)
• Microsoft Windows 10 (x64, x86, Arm64)
• Microsoft Windows 11 (x64, Arm64)

On Windows Arm64, target net6.0-windows, net8.0-windows or net10.0-windows so that the Windows runtime package is used (see Installation).

• Ubuntu 18.04 and later
• Debian 10 and later
• CentOS 7 and later
• Fedora 33 and later
• Alpine 3.13 and later

• macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later (x64, Arm64)

The cross-platform runtime packages (GroupDocs.Merger.Net60, GroupDocs.Merger.Net80 and GroupDocs.Merger.Net100) do not depend on System.Drawing.Common. Most document formats do not need it, but processing OneNote and SVG documents does. To process these formats on Linux or macOS:

• Add the System.Drawing.Common package, version 6.0.0, to your application.
• Install libgdiplus on the machine.
• Enable the System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport runtime switch, for example in your project file:

<ItemGroup>
  <RuntimeHostConfigurationOption Include="System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport" Value="true" />
</ItemGroup>

If a required component is missing, the operation throws MissingDependencyException (in the GroupDocs.Merger.Exceptions namespace). Its message names the missing component and how to install it.
