Hardware Recommendations
You can install and run VIVO on most modern PC, laptop, or server hardware. Whilst the application layer needs a reasonable amount of memory, the majority of the workload is placed on the storage layers, which as a semantic web application means the triple store. As VIVO aims to be agnostic to the triple store, the precise requirements will depend on your choice of triple store. However, the default configuration is to use Jena SDB backed by MySQL - in this setup, it is recommended that you have very high IO bandwidth for the file system used by MySQL, and significant memory for caching layers of the database engine.

However, most sites will run their installations on a Linux server, and you may find that it is easier to follow the installation instructions on a Linux / UNIX variant. Notably, if you are running Windows, you may need to stop running processes (e.g. Tomcat) in order to complete some of the instructions, due to file locking semantics on Windows.
glibc 2.14+ (Linux only)

Linux users, note that one of VIVO's dependencies requires your OS be running glibc 2.14+. All modern Linux variants satisfy this requirement, however some older releases do not. The table below summarizes the minimum release that includes a compatible* version of glibc. The ability to update glibc to 2.14+ on older OS versions varies by distribution.

The minimum requirement is Java 8. Both OpenJDK and Oracle JVMs are compatible. Other JVMs that meet the JDK 8 specification may work, but have not been tested.
