Hello, 1C

Cross-platform design 
Now it is time to explain on what operating systems and devices you can 
run your application. 
Linux 
You can use the application that you have developed in this tutorial without 
any modification both on computers with Microsoft Windows and Linux 
operating systems. 
1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform have introduced following analogs of already 
available for Microsoft Windows client applications: 

Thin client
allows users to run applications in the 
1C:Enterprise mode;

Thick client
allows users to run applications in the 1C:Enterprise and 
the Designer modes. 
Client applications support both file and client/server modes. They are 
available both for x86 and x86-64 architectures. 
This means that now not only the 1C:Enterprise mode users can work on 
Linux, but also developers and administrators.

In Linux, the application will look and feel the same as it does on Microsoft 
Windows.

Web client 
It is a common situation when you are not at your workplace, but need 
some data urgently. In this case, an access through the Internet using a 
web browser might save you. 
It is no doubt that you can develop a web interface for any system. To do 
this you need to develop, debug and deploy it as well as maintain 
compatibility with different web browsers. 1C:Enterprise platform allows 
developers to save efforts on development of the web interface. 
The platform allows you almost in a single click publish on the web 
server entire the application that you have developed in this tutorial. After 
that, users will be able to access the application using regular web 
browsers. At the time of writing this book there are four supported web 
browsers, they are: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google 
Chrome, and Apple Safari. 
This means that users do not need to install any of 1C:Enterprise 
applications or licenses, the only requirements are the connection to the 
Internet and one of supported web browsers. At the same time, you will 
need to have a server where 1C:Enterprise platform and a web server are 
installed. At the time of writing this book there are two supported web 
servers, they are: Microsoft IIS and Apache. 
To install the web server, click
