Prior to installing any WSO2 Carbon based product, it is necessary to have the appropriate prerequisite software installed on your system. Verify that the computer has the supported operating system and development platforms before starting the installation.
...
Operating Systems / Databases | - All WSO2 products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* compliant.
It is not recommended to run WSO2 BAM on Windows since Hadoop is not optimized for Windows. All WSO2 products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. For more information, see Working with Databases. It is not recommended to use Apache DS in a production environment due to issues with scalability. Instead, it is recommended to use an LDAP like OpenLDAP for user management. For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with WSO2 Products.
- If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.
- For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with WSO2 Products.

Required applications
The following applications are required for running the BAM and its samples, or for building from the source code. Mandatory installs are marked with *.
Application | Purpose | Version | Download Links |
|---|
Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK)* | Required to;
| 1.6.*/1.7.* | Info |
|---|
- If you are using JDK 1.6, you might need to replace the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files in your JDK with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files. This will avoid "illegal key size" errors when you try to invoke a secured Web service.
- To build the product from the source distribution, you must use JDK 1.6 instead of JDK 1.7.
- Oracle and IBM JRE 1.7 are supported when running (not building) WSO2 products.
- We do not recommend OpenJDK.

If you are using JDK7 on Mac OS, follow the steps below to install the Snappy-java library: - Download the Snappy JAR file from here, and extract it to a preferred location. We will refer this extracted folder as
<SNAPPY_HOME>. - In
<SNAPPY_HOME>/org/xerial/snappy/native/Mac/ folder, you find the Snappy java library files (.jnilib files) as i386 (32bit) and x86_64 (64bit). Copy the appropriate one to <BAM_HOME>.
For more information on installing snappy-java library, see Snappy-java fails on Mac OS JDK 1.7. |

Apache Ant | To compile and run the product samples. | 1.7.0 or later | http://ant.apache.org |
| Apache Cassandra | Used as an event store to store data published to WSO2 BAM, which will be used for analyzing. | Cassandra is internally bundled with WSO2 BAM. However, if you're using Cassandra externally with WSO2 BAM 2.5.0, it is recommended to use version 1.2.18 or higher. | http://cassandra.apache.org/ |
| SVN Client | To check out the code to build the product from the source distribution. | Info |
|---|
If you are installing by downloading and extracting the binary distribution instead of building from the source code, you do not need to install SVN. |
| | |
Apache Maven | To build the product from the source distribution (both JDK and Apache Maven are required). | Info |
