+## Prerequisites for Native Image on Linux
+
+Native Image depends on the local toolchain (header files for the C library, `glibc-devel`, `zlib`, `gcc`, and/or `libstdc++-static`). 
+These dependencies can be installed (if not yet installed) using a package manager on your Linux machine.
+
+On **Oracle Linux** use the `yum` package manager:
+```shell
+sudo yum install gcc glibc-devel zlib-devel
+```
+Some Linux distributions may additionally require `libstdc++-static`.
+You can install `libstdc++-static` if the optional repositories are enabled (_ol7_optional_latest_ on Oracle Linux 7, _ol8_codeready_builder_ on Oracle Linux 8, and _ol9_codeready_builder_ on Oracle Linux 9).
+
+On **Ubuntu Linux** use the `apt-get` package manager:
+```shell
+sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev
+```
+On **other Linux distributions** use the `dnf` package manager:
+```shell
+sudo dnf install gcc glibc-devel zlib-devel libstdc++-static
+```
