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

  • ~ 180 MB, excluding space allocated for log files and databases.

  •  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.

Oracle

Java SE Development Kit (JDK)*

Required to,

1.6.27 or later / 1.7.*

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

  • If you are using JDK 1.7 on Mac OS or Solaris, install the snappy-java library using the following steps:

    1. Download the snappy-java JAR 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>/org/xerial/snappy/native/Mac/directory, to the <APIM_HOME> directory.
    For more information on installing snappy-java library, see Snappy-java fails on Mac OS JDK 1.7.
  • We do not recommend OpenJDK.

    Apache ActiveMQ JMS Provider

    • To enable the product's JMS transport and try out JMS samples. The ActiveMQ client libraries must be installed in the product's classpath before you can enable the JMS transport.

    5.5.0 or later

    If you use any other JMS provider (e.g., Apache Qpid), install any necessary libraries and/or components.

    		http://activemq.apache.org

    Apache Ant

    1.7.0 or later

    		http://ant.apache.org
    SVN Client
     

    Apache Maven

    • To build the product from the source distribution (both JDK and Apache Maven are required). 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.

    3.0.*

    http://maven.apache.org

    Web Browser

    • Required by all WSO2 products to access each product's Management Console. The Web Browser must be JavaScript enabled to take full advantage of the Management console.

    NOTE: On Windows Server 2003, you must not go below the medium security level in Internet Explorer 6.x.
