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 | - ~ 2 GB minimum
- ~ 512 MB heap size. This is generally sufficient to process typical SOAP messages, but the requirements vary with larger message sizes and the number of messages processed concurrently.
|
Disk | - ~ 1 GB minimum (excluding space allocated for log files and databases.)
|
Environment compatibility
Operating Systems / Databases | - All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run
|
on - on any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* or OpenJDK compliant. JDK 1.8 is not supported yet.
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.

Environments Tested with Required applications
The following applications are required for running the BAM Business Activity Monitor 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

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. |

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 |
|---|
If you are installing by downloading and extracting the binary distribution instead of building from the source code, you do not need to install Maven. |

Required by all WSO2 products to | | | Cygwin (mandatory for Windows*) | BAM analytics framework depends on Apache Hadoop and Hadoop requires Cygwin, in order to /wiki/spaces/PS/pages/10519633. At a minimum; Basic, Net (OpenSSH, tcp_wrapper packages), and security related Cygwin packages need to be present in the system. | Info |
