## How do I run Starship on Linux distributions with older versions of glibc?
If you get an error like "*version 'GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by starship)*" when using the prebuilt binary (for example, on CentOS 6 or 7), you can use a binary compiled with `musl` instead of `glibc`:
The most common cause of this is system misconfiguration. Some Linux distros in particular do not come with font support out-of-the-box. You need to ensure that:
- Your locale is set to a UTF-8 value, like `de_DE.UTF-8` or `ja_JP.UTF-8`. If `LC_ALL` is not a UTF-8 value, [you will need to change it](https://www.tecmint.com/set-system-locales-in-linux/).
- You have an emoji font installed. Most systems come with an emoji font by default, but some (notably Arch Linux) do not. You can usually install one through your system's package manager--[noto emoji](https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/emoji/) is a popular choice.
- You are using a [powerline-patched font](https://github.com/powerline/fonts).
To test your system, run the following commands in a terminal:
```
echo -e "\xf0\x9f\x90\x8d"
echo -e "\xee\x82\xa0"
```
The first line should produce a [snake emoji](https://emojipedia.org/snake/), while the second should produce a [powerline branch symbol (e0a0)](https://github.com/ryanoasis/powerline-extra-symbols#glyphs).
If either symbol fails to display correctly, your system is still misconfigured. Unfortunately, getting font configuration correct is sometimes difficult. Users on the Discord may be able to help. If both symbols display correctly, but you still don't see them in starship, [file a bug report!](https://github.com/starship/starship/issues/new/choose)
