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, 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 any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* compliant. JDK 1.8 is not supported yet.
 Also, we do not recommend or support OpenJDK.
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. The embedded H2 database is suitable for development, testing, and some production environments. For most enterprise production environments, however, we recommend you use an industry-standard RDBMS such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc. For more information, see Working with Databases. Additionally, we do not recommend the H2 database as a user store.

  • If you want 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 also supported when running (not building) WSO2 products.

  • If you are using JDK 1.7 on a Mac OS, install the snappy-java

library using

  • library using the following steps:

    1. Download the snappy-java JAR for Mac and extract it to a preferred location. This folder will be referred to as <SNAPPY_HOME>.

    2. Copy the appropriate snappy-java library file i386.jnilib (32bit) or x86_64.jnilib (64bit) , which is in the <SNAPPY_HOME>/Mac/ directory, to the <ES_HOME> directory.
    For more information on installing snappy-java library, go to Snappy-java fails on Mac OS JDK 1.7.
