System requirements

System requirements include a Docker or Podman installation, operating systems on which IBM® Mono2Micro™ runs, Java®, CPU, RAM, and free disk space.

Installation

  • Docker (18.0.03 or later) or Podman (1.0.0 or later) must be installed on the workstations where you plan to run the different IBM Mono2Micro components. You can download Docker or Podman for your operating system and complete the installation if it is not already installed.
  • Java 1.8 or later. Ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the directory where your Java is installed.
  • At least 8 GB RAM; 16 GB RAM or more is optimal.
  • Free disk space equal to at least four times the size of the data collected for analysis.

Operating system

IBM Mono2Micro is supported for all of the operating systems that are listed for Docker or Podman.

CPU

Standard workstation CPUs are sufficient for running the IBM Mono2Micro containers.

RAM

IBM Mono2Micro needs at least 8 GB of free RAM, but 16 GB or more provides improved performance.

Free disk space

Ensure that the amount of free disk space is at least four times the size of the data that is collected for analysis. For more information, see Checking collected data.
