This option can also be set using the [command-line option](#command-line) `--platform`.
!!! tip
If you have Docker installed on macOS or Linux, you can locally debug your cibuildwheel Linux config, instead of pushing to CI to test every change. For example:
```bash
export CIBW_BUILD='cp37-*'
export CIBW_TEST_COMMAND='pytest {package}/tests'
cibuildwheel --platform linux .

Currently, setuptools has not yet added support for reading this value from

than x86 (x86\_64 and i686) `manylinux2014` or `manylinux_2_24` must be used because the first version of the manylinux specification that supports additional architectures is `manylinux2014`.
You'll need to set a Docker image that can be used in the same way as the official, default Docker images: all necessary Python and pip versions need to be present in `/opt/python/`, and the auditwheel tool needs to be present for cibuildwheel to work. Apart from that, the architecture and relevant shared system libraries need to be manylinux1-, manylinux2010- or manylinux2014-compatible in order to produce valid manylinux1/manylinux2010/manylinux2014/manylinux_2_24 wheels (see [pypa/manylinux on GitHub](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux), [PEP 513](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/), [PEP 571](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0571/), [PEP 599](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0599/) and [PEP 600](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0600/) for more details).
Note that auditwheel detects the version of the manylinux standard in the Docker image through the `AUDITWHEEL_PLAT` environment variable, as cibuildwheel has no way of detecting the correct `--plat` command line argument to pass to auditwheel for a custom image. If a Docker image does not correctly set this `AUDITWHEEL_PLAT` environment variable, the `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT` option can be used to do so (e.g., `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT='AUDITWHEEL_PLAT="manylinux2010_$(uname -m)"'`).
