The DataMiner server software can only be installed on a windows server.
The DataMiner cube client software can only be installed on a windows client.
The DataMiner mobile client apps can be accessed from any desktop or mobile OS supporting HTML5.

Elaborating with a bit more technical details: DataMiner server and DataMiner Cube heavily rely on the Microsoft .NET framework. As these are not available for Linux (alternatives such as mono or .NET core will not work with DataMiner), it is not possible to run DataMiner server or cube on a Linux server.

It’s not just that. With the technology available today, it could be done, C++ and the new Microsoft .NET Framework (version 5+) work on Linux. But currently DataMiner uses a .NET version, and also many APIs, libraries, folder paths, etc, which only work on Windows and won’t be easy to change.
