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 minimum
- 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 | - Approximately 180 MB, 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, Linux/Solaris is recommended for a production deployment of WSO2 BAM since Hadoop (used for analytics engine in BAM) is not recommended to be run in Windows based systems in production settings. (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/quickstart.html#PreReqs).
- All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most-common DBMSs such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, H2, DB2, Derby, PostgreSQL.
