SDK prerequisites and limitations

Review and perform these prerequisites before installing the SDK. Understand the limitations.

The following operating system versions are supported for installing and working with the SDK:

Hardware requirements:

Appliance for uploading and running app: 16GB min memory.
Developer machine
- 24GB min when Investigation Dashboard is disabled.
- 34GB min when Investigation Dashboard is enabled.

Before installing the SDK:

Install the latest Python 2 (version 2.7.9 or above) 64-bit.
Note: Python 3 and Python 32-bit are not supported.

To find out which version of Python is installed on your operating system, use the python --version command. On Windows, accept the default installation path, during installation (c:\Python27\), since there might be a bug in Python that prevents python package manager (pip) from installing properly in other paths.

You can download Python from Python Downloads.
Install Docker CE, if you want to test your app locally before sending it to your Guardium system.
Important: It is strongly recommended to install Docker and to test apps localy before deployment.

Limitations

Deployed apps are not part of Guardium backup and restore. Use Hypervisor backups (VM snapshots) to backup your apps.
The Guardium ecosystem (required for Guardium apps) and the Guardium universal connector cannot be enable simultaneously.
