# Prerequisites and Access

Before you begin setting up OX, review the following prerequisites to ensure a smooth onboarding process.

## Preparation steps

1. Review the [supported languages and frameworks](/supported-languages-and-frameworks.md).
2. Choose your hosting type: SaaS or On-Prem. In case of the on-prem installation, use the [On-Prem Preparation Guide](/get-started/onboarding-to-ox/prerequisites-and-access/on-prem-preparation-guide.md).

## Access and permissions

1. Ensure you have access to your company’s source control, CI/CD, registry, and ticketing systems.
2. Have credentials for your identity provider (for example, Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace) if you plan to enable SSO.

After completing these checks, proceed to [connecting to OX](/get-started/onboarding-to-ox/connect-to-ox.md).
