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.
System Requirements
Memory | - ~ 1 GB
- A heap size of around 512MB is generally sufficient to process typical SOAP messages
- Requirements may vary with larger message sizes and on the number of messages processed concurrently
|
Disk | - ~ 1 GB minimum, excluding space allocated for log files and Databases.

Environment Compatibility
Operating Systems / Databases | - As all WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications, it is generally possible to run them on most operating systems. These include Windows, Linux, Solaris, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mac OS X, Gentoo, SUSE, Debian etc. with a JDK 1.6.x runtime.
- However, WSO2 CEP does not support SunOS 5.10 and IBM AIX, and Linux/Solaris are recommended for a production deployment.
- All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most-common DBMSs such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, H2, DB2, Derby, PostgreSQL.
- 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 Compatibility of WSO2 Products.
