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

## 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.
